Join the Society!

N.B. 10 July 2024 & 15 May 2023, this web page was revised with new information.

This is the revised Luxembourg Society's Constitution (updated in 2022).

The Society always welcomes new membership applications. Founded in London in 1942 during the Second World War, it continues to thrive, affirming its enduring purpose. In 2022, it proudly celebrated its 80th anniversary.

Why should you become a member?

Membership is open to anyone wishing to promote close and friendly relations between Britain and Luxembourg, subject to ratification by the Council of the Society in accordance with approved procedures.

Membership includes expatriates wanting to stay connected with Luxembourg. They can socialise with fellow nationals, including those settled in Britain or staying temporarily, such as students or employees. The Society supports both business and social connections.

Non-expatriates are also welcome. This group includes people who have lived or worked in Luxembourg, those with family connections or ancestry there, and anyone who has established a bond with the country and the Luxembourg Society.

In addition to social gatherings, members can participate in recreational activities such as visits to places of interest, lectures, concerts, and art exhibitions. The Society receives a grant from the Luxembourg Government, and its social calendar is generously supported by the Luxembourg Embassy in London.

How can you become a member?

Applicants can apply for membership using either a paper or digital form. After completing the form, it can be submitted by email or post. Membership is subject to ratification by the Society's Council in accordance with approved procedures.

Effective January 2016, the annual subscription rates are as follows. Partial-year refunds are not available.

Ordinary membership   £18.00
Joint membership   £24.00
Student membership   £6.00

A joint membership consists of two individuals living at the same address, requiring one mailing by post. Email is the communication method of choice.

Student membership applies to any student enrolled in a full-time course.

Membership is free in the year of joining. Applicants should set up a standing order for annual subscription payments to begin on the first working day of January the following year. Once the Council of The Luxembourg Society ratifies the membership, the subscription fee becomes non-refundable.
