CMG should be helpful to anyone with an interest in wildflower meadows and/or species-rich grassland in general, whether you own or manage your own, or hope to create one on any scale, from an area in the garden to a large field. You don’t have to actually own a meadow to join us! We have to charge an annual subscription to cover our costs – hiring of halls for indoor meetings, paying for this website etc.  The steering group all give of their time for free, we are all volunteers.  The annual subscription is currently £10.

Becoming a member is easy – we use a membership database system. Renewing membership once you have joined is just as simple.  Whether joining or renewing please click on the link below – which will then give you both options

Membership of the group requires you to agree to the terms of our Data Protection Policy.

Data Protection

When you join CMG, you provide us with some personal information. This section explains what information we collect and how we use it.  CMG is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the data protection laws in the United Kingdom.

Information we collect from you

We will collect information about you when you join CMG or renew your membership or amend your membership details. The information we collect consists of:

• Information to identify and communicate with you (name, address, email, phone nos)
• Membership information (membership status, payments received)
• Information relating to your land and (if applicable) your meadow, and how it is managed. While this is optional (you don’t have to provide this information if you don’t want to) it is very useful to us if you do (see Nature in Crisis).

How do we use this information?

We may use the information provided by you in a variety of ways, including:

• To facilitate the efficient running of CMG
• To notify you of upcoming events
• To keep you informed about your membership status
• To make practical arrangements for CMG events
• To check the details that we hold for you
• The information relating to your land and its management may be used in an anonymised form (not identifiable to individual members) in discussion with other conservation organisations and/or local/national government.
• If it would be helpful for us (for example in relation to a large-scale conservation project) to identify the location, ownership, and management of your land to another conservation organisation, especially for reasons of connectivity (Nature in crisis).  But we will always seek your permission first, and you can either give your permission or refuse it.

How you can access your data

You can see the information that we hold about you at any time by visiting your membership page on our website, or by asking for it to be provided in written form if you do not have access to the website. You can correct any information there via the website or by asking us to correct it. Your data will automatically be deleted within a year if you leave CMG, but you may ask for it to be deleted immediately if you wish.

Disclosing your data

CMG will never share your personal details with other parties without your permission. However, we may use other organisations to provide services for us, in particular for the membership database system. These organisations are prohibited from using that information for any purpose other than those services. Nobody, including all the other members of CMG, can see your data other than yourself and the membership system administrators on the steering group (Colin Law, Andrew Martin, and Laura Moss).  The administrators need access to membership data in order to administer the membership system and for running CMG.

How is your information protected

We take protection of your personal details seriously and have appropriate security measures in place to keep it safe. We restrict access to personal information to only those in the Group who require it for the running of the group. Your information will be stored in the UK and will not be transferred to any other country.
