Membership Scheme
The Slimelight has a Membership Scheme which entitles you to reduced price entry and the ability to sign in up to two guests. Sometimes non-members have to be signed in by a member, but as long as you look the part ( ebm / goth / darkwave / black scene etc ) it is not a problem to get in even if you don’t know any members. Please read the faq page of this site and take a look at the “become member” section. Please note that you cannot become a member in advance of your first visit.
How To Become a Member
To become a member you need to pick up an application form from next to the reception desk hatch in the level one bar. Fill it in, get two members (or staff) to countersign the form, take your form to the front desk or reception desk hatch in the level one bar (when it is open). Contrary to rumour, there is not a test that you have to take!!! Hand in your form between 3 am and 6.30 a.m, pay your membership fee (currently £10), and you can either collect or be sent your membership card. *Please note* that application forms are only available inside the club, advance memberships are not possible, and application forms will not be sent out by post. Membership is renewable annually.
Membership Renewal
Membership is renewable annually and currently costs £5. If you come to the club just as your card is due to expire, you will pay an extra £5 on top of the normal members entrance fee, and your card will be renewed for you.
If your card has expired (even if it is 2 or 3 years old!!) you can renew by just coming to the club, paying the members entrance fee plus a renewal fee (this depends on how old the card is – minimum £5, maximum £10) on top, and again, your card will be renewed. You don’t need to be signed in by anyone, just turn up, present your old card and renew!
If you’ve lost your old card, you should still be able to renew, as your details should still be on the membership database – which will be searched on your arrival once you provide some details.
You can also renew your card by post if you wish. UK renewals should send a stamped self addressed envelope together with your membership card and a cheque or crossed postal order made payable to ‘SLIMELIGHT’ for £5 Sterling. Foreign renewals should send an international money order or Eurocheque for £6 (which includes £1 extra for postage and other costs) made payable to ‘SLIMELIGHT’, with a self addressed envelope, and their membership card.
All renewals should be sent to:
Slimelight Renewals
Electrowerkz II
7 Torrens Street
London, EC1V 1NQ
United Kingdom.
Lost or Stolen Membership Cards
If your membership card goes missing, please contact the office (see contact) and they can let you know if they have your card. If need be, a replacement membership card will be issued (which may involve a small administration fee).
Forgotten Membership Card
If you ever forget your membership card don’t worry, you can still get in, as well as sign 2 guests in, but you might have to pay £2 on top of the normal price – Maria says this applies especially to persistent offenders! 🙂
