Senior Members likewise have a limited set membership privileges and benefit from a much lower subscription rate as a result. Their privileges allow them to attend the same match days as Associate Members, but they also retain voting rights at the Club’s General Meetings. Full Members aged 70 or over may apply for Senior membership, which provides an affordable option to allow an individual to retain their membership when they no longer wish to attend the busiest major match days.
