relating to membership will be directed to the Membership Secretary so that

Proposed nominations are taken to a Management Committee Meeting for approval

sent to the proposer who is asked to forward the form to the applicant for completion.
The applicant is asked to return the completed form to the proposer for signatures
from the proposer and seconder.
The proposer forwards these to the Membership

for two weeks. The final decision regarding membership is made by the Management
Committee after this period of time.

An entrance fee is payable by new members. This fee includes the provision
of a key which opens both front and kitchen doors.
Annual subscriptions are due at the beginning of the Club's financial year
which is July 1. Pro-rata subscription fees apply to members who join after
