There are two classes of Membership:

1. Annual Membership at £150 a year, or:
2. Life Membership at £4,000 for applicants under the age of 40, reducing by increments each year to age 75 - for those aged 75 and over, the cost is £1,600.

The subscription covers our administration, the publication and distribution of our annual journal and the costs of the administration of the Guild's Charity.

The first Annual Subscription covers the calendar year in which the application is submitted. Thereafter, Annual Subscriptions should be paid in advance by 1st January.

Applications submitted after 1st September will qualify for a 50% rebate to the Annual Subscription, valid until 31st December of the year of joining.

All new applicants are asked to pay a Joining Fee of £200. We waive the joining fee for the spouse/partner of existing members, and for Members of the Guild of Young Freemen, so please let us know if you qualify.

The two volumes of the History of the Guild are normally priced at £39.95, but they are being offered at the special discounted price of £30.00 to members on joining.
