Membership

If you want to become or continue as a member, please fill out the new membership form and return it to us.

Membership dues are seasonal, running from September 1 in the current year to August 31 of the following year.

New membership levels created in 2003 are designed to help us cover the rising costs of keeping the Club going strong.

In 2003 we made important changes to our membership structure to help the Club cover costs not met by ticket sales, bake sale profits and dues. We updated our mailing list and introduced an electronic version of the newsletter (the Hurdy Gurdy) to reduce mailing costs.

Each member in good standing is entitled to reduced rates - according to their membership level - at specific Club functions and a vote at Club business meetings and elections.

Members in good standing may also borrow instruments from our Instrument Loan Program.
