2026 Membership thread: Direct debits have started

Noticed my membership fees were on my credit card yesterday. Don't think I've received an email from the club confirming such.

Wonder if we'll make it to 100K?

It is going to be really interesting to see how many members we get next year.
After losing TDK, JSOS and Charlie some may not sign up again.
There has also been a bit of backlash over the sacking of Captain Carlton. I have read comments online that some feel the club is pro Israel and anti Muslim.

I think the CC sacking clearly comes under the "no flower" policy.

It's interesting, from what I've seen support for sacking the mascot is in the vast minority, whereas TC leans more toward the club having done the right thing.

Hang on, do you mean talking Charlie Curnow or Captain Carlton?!

It's probably the age brackets, most here are older and wiser whereas most on social media are young and easily excited and seduced by the whole "Gaza genocide" and "Jews are evil" social media trend.

Ours all auto renewed, which saved me having to think about if I should renew.
