When a prospective member applies for membership, their application is discussed at the first committee meeting after application. The whole committee then decides whether or not to accept the member into the club and the decision is based primarily on 3 criteria:

• that the member has attended several events so that they know whether the club is right for them
• that the member has met enough of the committee for us to know whether they are right for the club
• that no comments of anti-social behaviour have been received.

Once the committee has made their decision, a letter of acceptance (or refusal) is sent to the member welcoming them to the club along with a copy of the clubs constitution and the current months programme. Very seldom is membership refused unless the above criteria are not met; however, the committee reserves the right to refuse a membership application without giving a reason.
