QA 2026 Membership Scheme

In order to comply with venue licensing requirements we operate as a membership club. So, in order to attend ANY QA event you need to be either a member, or the guest of a specified member. It is hoped that many of our guests will elect to become members in their own right once they’ve been to their first event, but this is of course not mandatory.

Guests may not simply continue to attend our events however, as this isn’t fair on all our members who are then effectively subsidising their presence. A guest appearance is exactly that, a one-time opportunity to sample QA "in the flesh" before they commit.

Total guest numbers will be capped at 20% of the attendees.

Given the fact that QA resumed after quite a pause, I decided to offer a short “trial membership” which covered the costs of relaunching and mounting our first full Soirée (Jan 26th).

It was generally agreed that both the pre-relaunch drinks (Trisha's 1st December 2025) and "REDUX" - our first full Soirée (Soho 26th January) were "triumphant" successes and QA is very definitely back!

So going forwards there's a discounted annual membership option for those who expect to be able to attend most events, or an open-ended option for those who may be more "irregular"! There is also a cheaper “international” membership for those who are unlikely to make it to London and finally a "trial membership" for a single first event that allows people to check us out (and vice versa) before committing to one of our longer term membership options.

Once we start organising house parties the host(s) may require an additional cover charge for catering/drinking etc - membership will be required to attend but there will likely be additional costs per event. This will be detailed in advance once these events commence (circa Easter 2026?).

Everyone who paid their initial/trial membership fee by 31 December 2025 became a Founder Member and retains this status if they extend using our discounted annual membership option. Founder Members will enjoy various perks as QA develops, the first of which will be lasting priority to introduce newcomers as their guests!

All payments to be made via bank transfer to my nominated accounts (one GBP, one Euro). Details via our Telegram chat group. No cash on the night, no special cases. Thanks!

New members will be asked to complete a simple form online and then confirm their bank transfer reference to hook things together. This system also shows who is attending each event, and offers a short biography (taken from Telegram and or FetLife) and a mugshot or avatar. This is all within a password protected area on this website.
