Membership
So why join GLUG?
Well, here are some of the things that membership entitles you to:
- Monthly meetings every month in London.
- UK Dives - we organise dives every year in Weymouth, Plymouth, and South Wales, plus other locations.
- Overseas Dives - we arrange trips every year to warm water locations such as the Red Sea, Thailand, and the Carribbean
- Social events, including a Summer Picnic or Barbecue, and a Christmas Meal
- Links with other GLBT Scuba clubs worldwide
- Diving Instruction (small extra cost), through our associated BSAC Club, Dorothy Divers.
- A combined total of over 250 years Scuba Diving Experience!
Membership is open to all, regardless of Race, Age, Nationality, Gender, or Sexual Orientation. Although our activities are aimed at the Gay & Lesbian community, we do also welcome gay-friendly straight divers.
Membership costs just £10 per year, renewing each January - this covers our admin costs, including Web hosting, postage, club equipment insurance and servicing. Those joining after July pay just £5 for the remainder of the year.
If you’d like to join, please download our Application Form (you’ll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read the form).
Included with the form is a Standing Order Mandate. We ask all members to pay using this method - it makes life easier for us, and also for you. Please fill in your name as the reference - this allows us to track who payments come from. When filling in the date of the first payment, please allow a minimum of two weeks from the date of posting - or leave it blank for our Membership secretary to fill in.
We will automatically renew your membership on January 1st each year, however you can cancel your Standing Order at any time by contacting your bank. (Please let us know if you do so, otherwise we’ll pester you in the New Year!).
Once you’ve filled in both the Membership Form and the Standing Order Mandate, please post them both to the address on the form. You will receive an email within 2 weeks, confirming your username and password for the Members area of the website.
IMPORTANT: Please do not send the Standing Order Mandate direct to your bank - our Membership Secretary needs to see it first, and will then forward it to your bank.
