Membership and joining

Individual membership costs £18 per calendar year.

Concession membership for pensioners costs £14 per calendar year.

Under 25s can join for free (note, this does not include a report though one can be purchased separately).

Membership subscriptions are due in January.

A copy of the YOC report published during that year is included in the subscription; for example, during 2024 the report for 2023 was published and that is included in the membership for this year.

Additionally, there is a reduced charge for members for indoor meetings and talks. Under 25s have free entry to indoor meetings. However, under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

You can join at a meeting, alternatively use the contact form below or email the Membership Secretary at .

Please note that your email address will be treated in confidence by the York Ornithological Club, and will not be disclosed to any third party without your permission.

When joining, let us know if you want your email address to be included in the YorkBirding Google Group to post and receive emails of the latest bird news in the YOC Recording Area. Alternatively, fill out the YOC email registration form.

The form does work usually but occasionally we have had some problems with reCAPTCHA being overly sensitive and detecting real users as bots. If it won’t let you submit, please email your message to membership at yorkbirding dot org dot uk.
