Notice to Members.
Membership Fees 2025.
After much consideration, the Committee have decided to maintain the Net Cost of Membership of the Club for 2025 at last year’s 2024 levels:
Following feedback from Members and in order to encourage and incentivise Members to come inside and use the Club facilities more, the Committee have however decided to increase the amount of Member points that are included in the yearly Membership Fees.
This decision to keep fees the same was not taken lightly as 2024 has been a difficult year for the Club financially.
The cost of living rises we have all endured over the last 12 months, has meant rising costs for energy, food and drink together with mandatory rises in wages and labour costs.
We believe we have managed the finances and maintenance costs of the Club well and members of the Committee and their support teams have done a lot of work to save significant costs over the past year.
Considering all of the above points, we are pleased to be in a position to maintain overall Net fee prices for the coming year.
We hope that all Members will continue to come in and enjoy using the Club and its facilities, and would like to thank you for your continued support which we do not take lightly.

Membership Renewals 2025.

Full Member Door Access only :- £130

Junior Member :- £20
On receipt of fee payments, Members Access will be updated electronically on the club’s PAC system, and the new credit card style membership cards (which will include the points to spend in the club) and car park stickers will be placed in envelopes for collection by members from bar or office.
Misuse Of Membership Car Park Keys
As a member of the Stourbridge Institute Social Club who has taken up the option of having access to the car park, it is a misuse of their car park key to let non-car park members onto the SISC car park.
This practice is unfair to paying members and therefore must not happen.
Any car park member found to be doing this could have their own rights to car park access either suspended or even stopped.
