Categories & Subscriptions

Membership Categories

The eight categories of membership (being categories of the classes of Full Membership and Associate Membership other than in the case of Associate Membership in respect of category (h)) comprise:
 

Members none of whom has made written application to the Secretary & Chief Executive to be included in any other category of membership, or whose written application has not been accepted.

Members none of whom has nor expects to have during a calendar year either a residential address or a business address within a radial distance of forty miles from Hyde Park Corner or such other distance as the MCC Committee may from time to time stipulate and who has made written application (which has been accepted) to the Secretary & Chief Executive to be treated as an Outer Town Member.

Members none of whom has nor expects to have during a calendar year either a residential or a business address within a radial distance of 100 miles from Hyde Park Corner or such other distance as the MCC Committee may from time to time stipulate and who has made written application (which has been accepted) to the Secretary & Chief Executive to be treated as a Country Member.

Members each of whom was on 1st January in any particular year both aged 75 years or over and a Member of the Club continuously for 30 years; or

Members each of whom was on 1st January, 2005 included in the list of Over-65 Members.

Members below the age of 30 on 1st January in any particular year each of whom has made written application (which has been accepted) to the Secretary & Chief Executive to be treated as an Under-30 Member.

Members each of whom, as a member of the staff of a school, is or (having retired) was actively engaged in the management of school cricket at representative levels provided that:

(i) such Member has made written application (which has been accepted) to the Secretary & Chief Executive to be treated as a School Staff Member; and

(ii) such application is supported annually (until the retirement of the School Staff Member) by the principal of the school concerned; and

(iii) the MCC Committee is satisfied that such Member should be treated as being, and continuing to be, a School Staff Member.

Members whose permanent residential addresses are outside the British Isles and who have each made written application (which has been accepted) to the Secretary & Chief Executive to be treated as an Abroad List Member and provided such information as the MCC Committee may require as evidence in support of such application.

An Abroad List Member is in any year entitled to apply to the MCC Committee to enjoy all the privileges of Full or Associate Membership (as the case may be) provided that, in respect of such year, a further payment is made by such Member by way of subscription to the Club and such other conditions as the MCC Committee may from time to time stipulate.

(i) Members each of whom has completed 60 years of membership of the Club; or

(ii) Members each of whom was on 1st January, 2005 included in the list of Life Members of the Club.

A Life Member has all the rights, privileges and obligations of Full Membership save for the obligation to pay an Annual Subscription.

Inclusion in a Category

A Full or Associate Member who wishes to be placed in any category of membership, other than Inner Town membership, must make a written application to the Secretary & Chief Executive before the commencement of a calendar year, the application to be in respect of such calendar year and may, with the exception of applications for the category of School Staff membership, be for subsequent calendar years also. A Member who fails to make such an application in respect of a calendar year shall be treated as an Inner Town Member for that calendar year.

If a Member has already previously applied and been accepted into a different category of membership, he or she will remain in that category unless his or her circumstances subsequently change.

The requirement for School Staff Members to confirm their continued eligibility for that category on an annual basis still applies.

Annual Subscriptions

Members are reminded that their subscriptions are due without notice on 1st January.

Those who do not pay by direct debit are asked to ensure prompt payment of the correct amount.

Any Member whose subscription has not been paid in full by 1 March will be required to pay a surcharge of 25% of the amount outstanding at that date.

A Member whose Annual Subscription remains unpaid on 1 April automatically lapses and thereby ceases to be a Member of the Club.
