Renewal Fees can be paid and Membership Cards are available for pick up from the bar on the Thursday 2nd January, 2025. Please renew by handing over your till card so that we can link payment to your membership.

Members who have not renewed by the end of February will have their membership cancelled and will have to go through an application to re-join. The membership is full at this time, but this could change by the end of February. We now have a waiting list of 100 people which will mean that it will become harder to re-join.

Please do visit the club to pay your renewal subscription and pick up your new membership card by the end of January 2025. Cheques are not accepted.

Membership and New Application for Membership Information as at 1st April, 2022

 Good Day Gentlemen

Just a quick update on membership and new member applications.

We are fast approaching the clubs initial membership limit for this year, only 60 spaces left.

If you have proposed or seconded a new application for membership and that person has not heard from me by now then it is either -

1. We have an incorrect email
2. The email went to junk/spam.
3. No email was given to us for contact.
4. The application is recent and has not been processed yet.

If an application was only received in the last 4 weeks then it will go before the committee on the 12th April. A list of new applicants will then be posted on the notice board on Wednesday 13th for member approval. New applicants will receive notification a week later to pick a date for their intake meeting. Dates available below.

Please do check with the people you proposed / seconded to see if they still want to become members.

Amazingly I have 56 people who applied to join the club over the last 6 months but have not followed up their application.

If they do want to join then they can arrange to meet me on one of the many intake dates that are arranged for the rest of the year, to complete their membership application,

Make sure that they let me know which date they will attend to join the club, via email to cavershamwmclub@btconnect.com

These are the dates and additional information

Initial Fees that need to be paid on the day of your meeting are as follows -
Administration and card fee                  £20
Annual Membership Fee if 65+             £12.50
Annual Membership Fee if under 65     £25

Please note that a new rule for new members has been introduced:
All new members must visit the club 2 x per season, a total of 8 times per year. The committee have the right to revoke membership if the required number of visits is not met.
