Membership

Admission is by proposal

Candidates are proposed and seconded by existing members, and considered by the Membership Committee.

The Launceston Club has, since 1882, been a club for the association of residents of Northern Tasmania — with Interstate and Country categories extending the welcome to those further afield, and Reciprocal arrangements that bring members of sister clubs through the door.

Application is by proposal: a candidate is proposed by one member and seconded by another, with the candidate’s name placed in the Members’ book. The Membership Committee considers each application in turn. Members are encouraged to enquire of the Secretary before lodging a formal proposal.
