To join the Society throughout the year simply complete the application and Direct Debit forms. The Society's Council will review your application at one of their regular meetings and you will hear from our membership team on the status of your application shortly afterwards.

By choosing to pay by Direct Debit your membership fee will be cheaper and will automatically renew each year. 

For all membership queries you can email membership@ruas.org.uk or telephone our office on 028 9066 5225.

RUAS membership runs from 1 January until 31 December annually.

If you pay by Direct Debit, then your membership will automatically renew each year. If you pay by cheque, our membership team will send you a reminder email in January with details of what steps you need to take.

This year, new membership cards containing photographs will be distributed before the 2026 Balmoral Show.

To gain free entry to the Show, members MUST present one of the new membership cards to be scanned at the gate. 

If you have not provided a photograph to the RUAS Membership Team or when completing your stewarding form, you must do so as soon as possible to secure your new card and receive free entry to the Show.

If you have any queries please contact our team at membership@ruas.org.uk or telephone us on 028 9068 6183.

Please note, if you lose your card there is a replacement fee of £5. 

You can telephone us or complete our online form.
