Advertise in BirdingASIA
Council thanks all those who advertised regularly in the OBC Bulletin and hopes that they will continue to do so in BirdingASIA. Advertisements help to offset production costs and benefit the Club significantly. The standard advertisement rates [black and white] are: full page £135; half page £85; quarter page £60. Colour advertisements are available at extra cost. For more information, contact Richard Thomas

We offer a complete service too: we can construct adverts from the text that you send us, and insert images and logos as required. Alternatively, we can accept your print-ready Pagemaker, Quark or film adverts. Pagemaker is the preferred format. Please contact Richard Thomas, OBC Bulletin Advertising via mail@orientalbirdclub.org.

OBC Corporate Sponsors
The OBC Corporate Sponsorship Scheme has recently changed to allow companies to choose the level of support for OBC, from £200 - £1000+ per annum. This newsletter explains the revised levels and gives examples of how businesses have helped OBC make a real difference to conservation and awareness raising in the Oriental region over the years.

Most payments are due for renewal and we hope that our past supporters will renew for OBC’s 25th Anniversary Year. Please contact Jo Thomas via mail@orientalbirdclub or phone Jo on +44 (0)1480 370593.

Current and recent sponsors include: Asia Ecological Consultants, Asian Adventures, Birdquest, BirdTourASIA, Limosa, London Camera Exchange, Rockjumper Birding Tours, Sunbird, The Bagh Resort, and Wildsounds.

Participants in the scheme pay an annual subscription of £45 and which pays the subscription of three honorary members. At present Business Supporting members support about one third of the 155 honorary members.

OBC Council thanks our Business Supporting members and we look forward to welcoming more in the future.

OBC Supporting Members
The rest of the honorary members are paid for by the Supporting membership scheme. In this case the members pay £25 and support one honorary member. If they wish they may nominate a deserving individual. Currently there are over 110 Supporting members playing a major role in the Honorary membership fund.
