The easiest way to apply for membership is to complete and submit our online application form below. We’ll forward your details to the Branch of your choice and a representative of that Branch will contact you with local further information and to finalise things, including arranging your annual membership subscription. Branches set their own membership fee, currently ranging between £10 – £20 per year, subject to differing Branch services and needs.
