Procedures

• Membership is by mutual invitation. 

• Prospective Members are introduced to a Circle either by an existing member or by enquiring of a local Circle about membership. There are notices in many churches, or details of a contact can be found usually in the  Diocesan Directory.

• An invitation is extended to attend after Circle meetings and other social functions. Their ladies are often invited to these events. 

•  During a 3 or 4 month period the prospective member and circle members have the opportunity to get to know each other. He can then decide if he wants to make a long-term commitment and join. 

• If an invitation is offered and accepted, the prospective member completes an application form with members of the Circle's membership committee. The application is then considered by Head Office and the Circle Council.

•  If accepted, the prospective member is invited to attend a Circle meeting as an observer, and then he can be enrolled at the next convenient 

• Circle meeting according to rule. It may take 6   months to join the Association from the first introduction, but this is a relatively short period for anyone who is making what is hoped will be a lifetime commitment.
