How much does it cost?

There is an annual subscription which is payable at the beginning of the new season.  This covers all weekly meeting costs, usually 30 meetings each year,  as well as refreshments at the meetings.  The subscription is currently £95 per annum and which works out at just over £3 per week.

If you join us part way through the season, then the membership subscription is pro rata to the number of evenings remaining in the programme.

The membership subscription for under 18-year-olds (accompanied by a responsible adult) and those in full time education is £47.50 (50% of adult subscription).
