Candidates for membership must be proposed by one existing fully paid-up member and seconded by another. All applications will be reviewed by the Committee at the next scheduled committee meeting, and only accepted on a majority vote of that Committee.

Special provision in the form of a questionnaire is made to vet applicants who are new to the area or to the breed and who are, therefore, not known to the membership.

Please note that  joint memberships are limited to two persons only.

Joint members will be accepted if proposed under the same rules as the individual member by a single proposer and seconder.

Junior membership is available to children aged between ten and sixteen years on 1st January the following year. The parents of the junior member cannot be both the proposer and seconder.

In club matters requiring ballots, each member will be entitled to one vote immediately upon acceptance of membership.  Joint members will each have one vote.  Junior members will have no voting rights.

For further details, it is strongly advised that you read the rules of the club before deciding whether you wish to apply for membership.
