The Club is currently at full capacity and therefore we are unable to accept new members until spring 2009.
We accept Applications all year round but these are put on a waiting list. We only process them in the Spring after membership renewals have taken place. This is the only time membership spaces become available. The waiting list does not roll over from year to year, if you are unsuccessful in gaining membership you will have to re-apply.
Full Membership
The Club welcomes new members but due to our popularity spaces are severely limited. Typically we accept 30–40 new members each year, the precise number depending on the number of resignations from the previous year.
