The RSGB offers licensed amateurs, who live in the UK and are under the age of 21, free membership of the Society. However we do need some proof of age and licence. If you are under 18 we also need parental approval of your membership. You be required to upload these proofs at the time you make your application.
Under 21 members enjoy the full membership benefits of the Society however those under the age of 16 are not allowed to vote in our elections etc. and are known as junior members until their 16th Birthday.
In addition we offer a free Student Membership which is available to any UK licensed amateur who is in full time education in the UK and aged 21-25. Student Members enjoy all the benefits of RSGB membership and are eligible to vote in elections etc. Again, you will be required to upload some form of proof that you are in full time education.
For those that are not licensed you are still welcome to join the RSGB but it is chargeable. We recommend where possible that you become a family member, which is part of an older person's family membership that covers everyone living at one address. Alternatively you can pay for a full membership which does not require you to be licensed. For both options you become a full member of the RSGB and are able to vote in elections if you are over 16.
