Membership

Our ‘open membership’ means that anyone (with a connection to Colchester) can join. Members registration fee is £10 for the year. The only way to join is by visiting us during café opening hours (10am-4pm, Thursday-Saturday), ask for one of our membership registration forms, fill it in while you have your lunch, return the completed form to one of our team behind the counter & pay your £10 - it’s that simple!

Member benefits include 10% discount on all daytime café items & early notice about upcoming events. If you wish to be more involved as a member, you can attend meetings, suggest items for the agenda, call for meetings, vote, become a board member & contribute towards steering the direction of the organisation according to democratic process. Our membership allows you to be involved as little (just a customer enjoying the 10% discount) or as much (a board member with shares in the company) as you like. There’s no pressure either way & you can choose to opt out of certain emails & correspondence so it’ll never feel like we’re spamming you!
