Active
Eligible to hold any office in the club, district or association and to vote on all matters. Obligations include prompt payment of dues, participation in club activities, and conduct reflecting a favourable image of the club in the community.
Get involved
You do not have to join to help.
Most of our members turned up to a single camp first, saw what it involved, and decided from there. Come to one. There is no obligation beyond the day, and if it suits you, membership is a short step from there.

How it works
Four steps, and the first two are just showing up
- 01
Come to a meeting
The club meets on the 3rd Saturday of every month. No invitation is needed and nothing is payable on a first visit. Ring the club and somebody will tell you the venue and time.
- 02
Come to an activity
This is the honest test. Spend a morning at a camp or a distribution and you will know quickly whether the work suits you.
- 03
Get proposed
An existing member proposes you and the club board approves. There is no interview and no examination.
- 04
Induction
You are inducted at a club meeting and registered with Lions International through the Lion Portal, which is where membership records are held.
What it costs
Dues, published rather than hinted at
A member pays an international subscription and district fees. These are the published figures for the 2025-26 Lion year. The club may add its own charge on top for meeting expenses, so ask the treasurer for the total before you commit.
International levies are quoted excluding GST and are payable to The International Association of Lions Clubs. District and multiple district fees are quoted excluding GST. Figures are those published for the 2025-26 Lion year and are confirmed each year.
Giving money to projects is separate from membership and is never expected of a member.

Kinds of membership
Not everyone joins on the same terms
Lions International recognises several categories. Most new members join as Active. The others exist so that illness, distance, age or a crowded life do not have to mean leaving.
Member at large
For a member who has moved away, or who cannot regularly attend because of health or another legitimate reason, but wishes to retain membership. Reviewed every six months by the club board.
Honorary
Conferred on someone who is not a member but has performed outstanding service for the community. The club pays their fees and dues. Capped at five percent of active membership.
Privileged
For a member of fifteen or more years who must relinquish active status because of illness, infirmity or advanced age. Retains the right to vote.
Life
For a member of twenty or more years who has rendered outstanding service, or fifteen years and aged at least seventy. Requires club recommendation and a one time payment to the association in lieu of all future dues.
Associate
For someone whose primary membership is in another Lions club but who lives or works in this community.
Affiliate
For someone who cannot fully participate as an active member but wants to support the club and its community service.
Before you join
Read the code of ethics first
Every Lion accepts it. Two clauses are worth reading twice: the one about resolving doubt against yourself, and the one about friendship being an end and not a means.
- To Show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
- To Seek success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.
- To Remember that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.
- Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.
- To Hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.
- Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my community, and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.
- To Aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy.
- To Be careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.
