How much joining did you pay

No idea of the amount as it was 37 years ago.

But, if I remember correctly, it was equivalent to two years subscription, all paid up front.

I’m just about to join a new club due to moving house so been looking around and trying them all out. I’ve narrowed it down to 3 clubs. Two have joining fees, one at £250, one at £200 and the other nothing. The one with no joining fee is slightly ahead at the moment but not purely for that reason but it’s always there in the thought process when I’m trying to work out which one.

£300 for me which can't be bad for a top 100 track.

Everything is reasonable at your place for a top 100 track 🙂

Ziltch for me.

If i ever get the chance to join RSG i'll swallow the joing fee...........

If you join RSG I guarantee you will be my new best friend.

I think it may well be sometime before i gain enough support to apply.

This just proves there’s still plenty of money in the sport and if you want quality we are prepared to pay for it.
But £1265 plus the same in green fees is a lot for some working people and must put some off.

£1000 ten years ago,i paid it over 5 years ,its a £1000 but you can now pay it over 10 years

None. Captain invited me to join and so waiting list and joining fees waived. Granted my neighbour was his son may have helped

Can't stand when this type of thing happens smacks of old school elitism, I would have been most annoyed if I was on the waiting list and you got in before me.

I paid about £650 at 29, which is 25% of the full joining fee. I got in just before I was 30, at which point it went up to 50%.

I think the full joining fee is 1.5x annual membership, it can be paid over 5 years.

We're basically full, so keeping a joining fee made sense and has allowed significant a significant course improvement plan to be implemented.

Big fat zero for me. I would have to really be desperate to join a club with a joining fee.
