The election of New Members takes place at the Membership Committee meeting held on a Saturday morning at the beginning of each month.

Applications require a Proposer and Seconder, who must be Members of the Club and have known the nominee for a period of 12 months or more. The Proposer or Seconder is required to accompany the nominee when they meet with Membership Committee members for an interview.
