How much does it cost?
We always suggest that you come along to a couple of events before becoming a member so that you can see what we're all about! To become a member of Ladies Circle a charge is applied Nationally of £67.50 per year (this is the membership fee and also covers insurance for when you are involved with circle activities). This is payable annually in May and is reduced on a pro data basis throughout the year for new members. We pay as we go for events on our programme which usually cost between nothing and £15.00 per event/evening. We also get invited to other Circles' events in the area, which members are welcome to attend with similar costs. Members are also given opportunities to attend various Parties and Balls - for which there will be a ticket price. Ladies Circle is an international organisation and we are able to be involved in events across the country and world wide. How much you do, or don't do as a circler is entirely up to you!
Do I have to pay all in one go?
We are happy to receive membership fees in instalments to help spread the cost. However please note that when you first join you will have to pay the full pro rata membership fee for the rest of the circle year (May to May)
Is it just a 'knit and natter' group?
No! We do a variety of activities and cater for all interests and backgrounds. We have planning meetings every year to discuss what we'd like to get out of Ladies Circle, and always try to include ideas from every circler. We love to try different things at Kings Lynn ladies Circle so why not let us know what you'd love to see in our programme!
What if I come to something but am unsure if i want to officially join Ladies Circle?
No problem! We always encourage new members to come to a few events so you can get a feel of what we are all about before joining. We also think it is really important for prospective new members to meet most of the group before inviting you to join us.
What if I join but can't make every meeting/event?
We have some very busy ladies within our group and we all know how important family, careers and everyday life is - and how much life can sometimes take over! We don't require you to come to everything - you may not even fancy all of the events and meetings we have planned. If you don't want to come along one evening - it is simple - just let us know, we will just see you when you are less busy - Ladies Circle is about having fun and being yourself - we want you to ENJOY meeting with us!
I'm nervous - what happens if I am not sure about coming to my first meeting or event on my own?
We all know how nerve wracking it is when you meet someone for the first time let alone a whole group of people - Relax! We will happily arrange for either another member to come and pick you up first (to help you to get to know that person initially) or for one of our members to meet you outside the entrance to the venue - and please don't forget - we have all been the new lady too!
Is there an age limit?
Ladies Circle is for ladies aged 18-45 which is an age limit set by our National organisation. However, some of our members stay on as "honorary members" when they have passed the age of 45. For ladies over 45, King's Lynn also has a wonderful sister group called Tangent.
Are there any other charges?
We also have personalised Kings Lynn Ladies Circle T shirts which are mainly used for charity events. If you would like one, once you have joined we can order you one for approximately £10.
