Good afternoon, 

It's great to see how many people have reached out this year from other London Universities! As the last surviving London caving club we feel it's very important to include students from all over. I might have already mentioned to some of you that membership of Imperial College Union is required to become a member of the club. This is possible through Associate Membership, and costs £5 per month (plus our £30 membership for the year). If you are currently studying at imperial, you automatically have membership to ICU, and if you're studying at the Royal Collages of Art or Music, it's only £5 for the whole year.

The union states on it's website:

"Students who are over 18 and are studying at other Higher Education institutions around the world may become Associate Members of Imperial College Union. Staff of Imperial College London are also entitled to become Associate Members of the Union. 

An Associate Membership can be purchased for £5 per month in person from the Union Reception. You will need to present a valid student ID card or Imperial Staff card in person in order to purchase Associate Membership. Associate Members can purchase Life Membership for £40 once they have been a Member for at least two years (cumulatively)."

While you have to pay in person, it's quite flexible. You can pay for however pay for many months as you like at a time (i.e. one term). The Union Helpdesk is open 09:00-17:00 Monday to Friday, in Beit Quad. It may be convenient for you to go on Tuesday or Wednesday to join our pub night (every Tuesday from 5pm ish), or our tree training (Wednesday 1-5pm). Someone from committee will likely be available at these times as well should you need any help. 

Here is the link to the page on associate membership should you want to know more: Membership | Imperial College Union

If you have any questions or need any help, just ask! Caving is loads of fun and I want everybody to be able to participate! 
Yours, 
Chris
