Who can become a member
Membership of the National Liberal Club is open to people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. We pride ourselves on our Liberal history and believe in an inclusive, diverse family where all are welcomed and valued. We have political and non-political memberships, so you don’t need to be a member of any political party. All we ask of our members is that they don’t use the Club premises for any activities that are harmful to the cause of Liberalism. Political Members and non-political Members are exactly alike, except that Political Members have extra voting rights at AGMs, in exchange for declaring that they are Liberal in their politics.
