Membership
Members must be proposed and seconded by two current full members of the club. There is currently an 8 year long waiting list for membership, but children of current members are given preference when vacancies do arise. Because of this, some recent joining members have had to wait fifteen years, and the club advises new applicants that longer waits could be possible in future. The top 1,400 candidates on the waiting list are offered temporary off-peak membership. In 2008, some of those offered this level of membership had waited nine years.
The club currently has more than 10,000 members.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
