Membership

Apply for Membership

The committee considers every application in the order it arrives and tells you its decision. If you are accepted, you become a member when your fee is paid.

Before you apply: come to a few meetings as a guest, and ask two members to nominate and second you. Read the Constitution, which you promise to abide by. Ordinary members are 16 and over and may vote; Associate members are 15 and under, do not vote, and come with a parent, guardian or responsible adult. Under 12 is at the committee’s discretion. Prefer paper? Use the paper application form.
