Join the Standard Steam Locomotive Co Ltd

join

Anyone can become a member of the Standard Steam Locomotive Co Ltd. When you become a member, you become a member of the Standard Steam Locomotive Company Limited - a company that is limited by guarantee. This means that there are no shareholders. As the company is a registered charity, then any winding up of the company means that the assets must be distributed to an organisation with similar charitable aims. As a member in the event that the company is wound up, then members liabilities are limited to an amount not exceeding £1. You can choose between Annual or Life Membership

The Annual Membership option runs for 1 year from when you join and ends on the last day of the month that you joined in the following year. Renewal reminders are sent out by email in your final month. You will receive a 'Certificate of Membership' on first application and an Annual Membership Card.

Life Membership is also available.

Membership brings with it certain benefits, not least, two editions of our house magazine, 'Hengist Herald', per year (May & December), the right to vote at our Annual General Meeting (not Juniors) and the opportunity to get involved with the project through working parties, the sales team, members' forums etc.

If you are able to bring any experience or useful skills to the project, please let us know - the building of a brand new Class 6MT steam locomotive utilises a range of skills from administration and sales through to heavy engineering and, if you can fill any gap, you will be most welcome.

Apply for Membership today; simply click the button below and complete the online application form. We will respond with bank details for your online payment.
