We are posting this information about 2025 membership a little earlier than usual, but there is some information from the recent AGM to make you all aware of.

Footfall and income was down slightly during 2024, and these schemes have been proposed by the Directors, and agreed at the AGM to help secure, and build on our recent successes.

**Please note** that your 2025 membership subscriptions will be due on January 1st. As passed at the AGM, please see details of the new membership subscription prices in the attached image and on notice boards in the Club.
Membership fees have remained as per last year. Due to the successful implementation of this scheme this year, there will once again be a £10 discount to members and shareholder members paying in January, and a £5 discount to those paying in February. The £10 joining fee for new members has once again been waived

This has been approved at the AGM again to give a little back to existing members and hopefully attract new members too. Also approved by the AGM to help attract new members, any new full members recruited before the 31st March 2025 will receive their membership for half price, along with the member proposing them.

Remember our members are our chief sales people and recruiters. If you might know anyone interested in joining please let them, and also all your clubmates know about the discounted membership fees and discount for for early payment.

Please remember that subscription payment by instalments may be available by request, as per Bye Law 2 (A copy of the Bye Laws is available in the club and on the website).

Thanks very much to you all for your continued support, and your appreciation of the MBC teams efforts, it’s greatly appreciated! And thankyou to all who have already secured their discount subscriptions for 2025.

On behalf of the MBC Team please accept our best wishes, to you and your families for Christmas, and for a healthy and successful 2025. All the Best!

2024 Annual General Meeting – Thursday 21st November at 8pm
An AGM meeting has been called for all Full Members & Shareholders. A full attendance would be appreciated for this important meeting, please all try your best to be in attendance.

Join us for the first of our special events to commemorate our 150th Anniversary year! This event is for all Members and we want to see as many of you there as possible to kick off this special year in MBC’s long history.
On the night there’ll be discounted drinks, a quiz, card bingo and a raffle!

The support we get from our membership is always something we are rightfully proud of and helps motivate the MBC team to continue working hard for all our benefits.
Thank you all for that, and for the good response to the 2024 reduced membership subscription scheme that was run through January and February.
Some of our newer and existing full members might not be aware that another way to support the ongoing financial success of MBC and get a reduced membership subscription, and that is through purchasing a share in MBC.
Shareholder members currently receive a £20 discount on their annual fees so the payback on their investment is relatively short timewise.

Each share is priced at £125 and there are currently still 560 shares available for purchase from the capital share issue from back in 2011. We would also like to inform anyone potentially considering this that we can now offer a payment by instalments option, with agreed flexible payments leading to share issue on completion of payment.
If any full member is interested in becoming a shareholder or those wishing further purchase of shares, please speak to any of the Board Members who will be happy to discuss this further with you.

Thanks very much for your time, all the best!

Just a gentle reminder that time is running out to secure your £10 discount for members & new members paying subscriptions in January.

The discount will reduce to £5 in February.

Many thanks to those of you that have taken advantage of the offer already. If you know of club mates that haven’t paid as yet, please help by making them aware of this reminder.

Your support as always is much appreciated!
