How to join

Our membership year starts in April. Our annual membership rates have been unchanged for several years now at £50 for Full membership and £30 for Concessionary membership. We offer the Concessionary rate to Students, the Unwaged, and Seniors who believe they need it.

New members joining part way through the membership year may be charged a reduced rate or enrolled early for the following year.

If you'd like to ask us any questions about membership before you join, please use our contact page here.

When you are ready to join, use the 'Join Us' button below. This will take you through several pages. Once you have completed these steps we will contact you with an invitation to a CoL&CPS evening and details of how to pay your subscription.
