2012 Fees for Ladies

Council has identified that Lady Membership is under-subscribed and as such The Equality Act permits us to designate Lady Members as a ‘Special Case’ and to reduce subscriptions to enable us to attract ladies to the benefits of membership. The subscription rate is applicable to both new and existing Lady Members and will apply until such time that the number of Lady Members has sufficiently increased. Thus fees for Lady Members in 2012 are as follows: 

Senior Lady Monday to Sunday                        £185.00
