Membership is open to anyone over the age of 18 who can be responsible for their own safety.  Young people accompanied by a parent / carer are welcome as Members.  Although we are based in Retford in North Nottinghamshire some Members do travel from as far away as Nottingham and Lincoln.

 

Fees  

The Annual Membership fee for 2026 is £10 per person.  This is payable by the end of January each year.​

 

In addition there is a Member's ​Meeting Fee, which is currently £2 per person per Indoor Meeting.  This goes towards paying for the hire of the venue (Hallcroft Community Centre - see Indoor Meetings page) and in payment of the fee charged by the individual Speakers.  

​

Non-Members are welcomed with the fee for them being £3.50 per person per Meeting.
