Membership
Membership built on shared values.
Classic standards and a modern mindset shape every part of CLB | 501. Membership is selective and application-based, with every application read individually by the Membership Committee. Membership is for those aged 30 and over.
£501
Initiation Fee
A one-off fee on joining. Refundable during your first 90 days under the guarantee below. No payment is taken at the point of application.
£501
Quarterly Minimum Spend
Not an additional membership charge. It is the minimum each member commits to spending within CLB | 501 each quarter on food, beverages, events and eligible club experiences.
The Guarantee
The 90-Day Guarantee
We want members to join because they belong here, not because they are locked in.
The initial £501 Membership Initiation Fee is refundable during the first 90 days of membership.
If during that period a member decides CLB | 501 is not right for them, they may request a refund of their initiation fee.
Equally, CLB | 501 reserves the right during the same introductory period to determine that a member is not a suitable fit for the Club we are building, terminate the membership and refund the initiation fee.
The detailed Terms of Membership govern the precise operation of this guarantee.
