We believe that for the quantity and quality of facilities on offer, we are unbeatable!

Full membership for up to one year is only £5.00 – and has been held at that price since YMUG was formed, more than a decade ago!

You can pay up front for membership into the future at the usual price of £5.00 per year, but we can also offer you our SPECIAL DISCOUNT of a FREE FIFTH YEAR when you pay for four years at once (£20.00)!

'Taster' discounts
Although we feel that our membership price is incredibly low, we recognise that you might want to 'dip your toe' first and see if YMUG is for you. We are therefore offering 'taster' subscription comprising one or two months' full membership at £1.00 and £2.00 respectively. After your taster period, you can either extend it at the same price, or elect to join YMUG at the standard price. You might of course, decide that YMUG is not for you and not take things further, but we don't think you will!

Family discounts
We only seek one £5.00 membership fee per household. This means that is you have family members living in the same house who would like to be members of YMUG, the same £5 covers them all! We regret that family members in different locations are subject to the full membership charge.

Overseas members
Overseas members and expatriate Yorkies (and other Brits) can enjoy all the benefits of being a member of YMUG, except perhaps the monthly meetings. For their convenience, we do accept payment through the PayPal system in a few currencies other than British Sterling, although of course, you are encouraged to pay in GBP. If you are wanting to join YMUG but cannot use the PayPal system, do not have access to banks which can make payments in GBP, or cannot pay through relatives resident in the UK, we do allow free membership for those who really cannot contribute to our funds — at our discretion.

Complimentary membership
Free membership is offered to those members who give their time voluntarily to offer help and support frequently to other members, and those who hold office in YMUG, volunteering their services on a regular basis.

No administrative fees
Some methods of payment (eg, PayPal and credit cards) involve administrative charges being made to the companies accepting the payment. Currently, we do not pass these charges on to our members, as we believe that these methods of payment make our lives a little easier than some other methods, like cheque payments for instance. We don't like paying these extras out of our funds, but we also don't like asking for you to pay more! Of course, we reserve the right to change this policy in the future, should it erode our funds beyond what is reasonable.

There is rarely any charge over and above the full membership price of £5, although we do reserve the right to accept donations towards, for instance, catering at meetings when provided.
