Membership

Home > About > Membership

You don’t need to become a member to play with us, and you don’t need to play with one of our groups to join in one of our events, but you may wish to if you think that you’re going to be a regular player and attend lots of events, or if you’d like to further support The Cobweb Orchestra.

Members receive

approx. 25% discount on group subs
approx. 25% discount on event fees (excluding food and accommodation)
regular updates from the trustees
voting rights at the AGM so you can help shape our future work

Cost

The membership prices are:
£50 for tax payers
£35 for non-tax payers

Under 18s – 13-18yr olds have free membership. (To attend a weekly group, they pay half the membership rate, ie. £3. They are also entitled to the 10% reduction if they pay for a full term).
