| Membership |
Visitors and guests are always welcome to come and play at the Young Chelsea. You can play any number of times as a visitor, but you pay table money at visitor rates. Club membership is open to all, as and when you wish to join. The club has a number of different classes of membership, as follows:
- Full membership—open to all, entitles you to play at member rates.
- Country membership—open to those who live outside London and are unable to attend the club regularly. Country members are not expected to play more often than six times per year. Country members pay table money at full member rates.
- Junior membership—open to all those under 26 on 1 January of the current calendar year. Juniors pay regular table money at half the full member rate, and are entitled to reductions in most club competitions and events.
- Student membership—open to juniors who are in full-time education. Students play in our regular duplicates for free, and are entitled to reductions in most club competitions and events.

We operate on a fixed membership year, which runs from 1 April to 31 March each year:
- Full membership costs £60 pa. Those joining part way through the membership year pay pro-rata for the outstanding months—see chart below.
- Country Membership costs £60, but entitles the member to three years membership instead of one year.
- Junior membership is free, but juniors are required to complete a Membership Application form and provide their date of birth.
- Student membership is free, but students are required to complete a Membership Application form and provide their date of birth and the date they expect to end their course of study.
