Notice to Members.
Membership Fees 2026.
The Committee has decided, after much deliberation, that there needs to be a slight increase to the Membership fees of the Club for 2026.
In 2025 we have encountered significant costs relating to repairs and maintenance, having to comply with updated Health and Safety requirements, and ageing equipment, together with the rising costs of food and drink, and mandatory rises in wages and labour costs.
The Committee have worked very hard managing the Finances of the Club, and Members of the Committee and their support teams have again done a huge amount of work to save these costs being significantly higher.
As ever attracting new members to the club is important, so we are re-introducing the Membership incentive scheme, where existing Members can earn points to spend at the bar by successfully introducing new members who sign up and join the club.
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.
Membership Renewal Fees for 2026.
Club Membership Door only + £10 Member points. £140 (D/D £14 pm)
Club Membership Door and Car Park + £30 Member points. £400 (D/D £40 pm)
Intermediate and Junior Members fees remain the same £30pa and €10pa

3. Any other category of Nomination must be approved by the Committee on an individual basis.

Membership Renewals 2026.
We have set up a number of ways to enable people to pay and renew their club membership fees which are due from the beginning of the year.
Full Member Door Access only :- £140
(includes £10 worth of points redeemable at the bar via your credit card type membership card)
Full Member Door + Car Park Access :- £400 (includes £30 worth of points redeemable at the bar via your credit card type membership card)
Junior/Intermediate Members :- £10/£30pa
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.
