If you are interested in joining the Whitefriars Club, please fill in this form and let us know a little about yourself and your interests. Normally, we require prospective new members to attend a few dinners so that they can get to know our club, its atmosphere and events. Before becoming a full member, you will not be required to pay any subscription, but you will be able to book any of our dinners. Our annual subscription is only £50 a year, and the joining fee (which covers the cost of pin, book and tie or scarf) is £60 (this is waived for people under 35). The current price for a dinner (exclusive of drinks) is £60 per person.
Our members are called “Friars” (a playful moniker derived from the name of our club, without any religious connotations) and prospective members “Novitiates”.
