Joining the NA is easy...
STEP 1
Contact the Membership Secretary, giving your full name and postal
address, to receive a form. New membership applications can usually also be
made in person at most NA re-enactment events, but please contact the
Membership Secretary in advance to check that this will be possible.
To receive a form, contact:
membership@napoleonicassociation.org
STEP 2
Complete the form and send it with the appropriate subscription payment
for your membership category to the Membership Secretary at the address on
the form.
STEP 3
Receive your membership card and welcome pack, including details of all
NA events and access to the members' pages of the NA website. Receive
regular copies of the NA's regular newsletter 'The Adjutant' to keep up with
forthcoming events and other news.
STEP 4
Go to the events and meet new people and have fun!
But first you must make two decisions..
1) Primary Interest
We need to know which section you wish to join: research, re-enactment or
wargaming. The form has a section to state your interests in order of
preference. We need to know this so that we can be sure you are included in
the activities of the NA that are likely to be of interest to you. If you’re
not sure which section to join, please contact the Membership Secretary.
Researchers / Wargamers
If you put research or wargaming as your first interest you will
automatically be classified in one of these sections. Your details will be
passed to the section coordinator who will keep you up to date with events
in these sections (often before they reach “The Adjutant”).
Re-enactors
If you wish to take part in re-enactment events (even if it is not your
first interest), it is a little more complicated. In order to take part in
re-enactments, you must also be a member of a Napoleonic Association
affiliated unit. Details of, and contacts for, all affiliated units are on
this site (British and French). Unit membership rules vary, and you will
need to contact the unit direct to arrange this. Once you have decided on a
unit, enter the name of your unit on your application form.
For insurance purposes, all members taking part in re-enactment events must
be accredited as safe for the role they undertake during the event (i.e.
fusilier, camp follower, etc.) This accreditation must be signed by the
commanding officer of the members’ unit.
NOTE: ONLY MEMBERS OF THE NA MAY TAKE PART IN RE-ENACTMENTS OR CAMP ON NA
CAMPSITES.
The membership year runs from April to March.
If a new member joins part way through a membership year, the full annual
subscription is payable. However, there will be a discount against the
annual fee on first renewal.
Existing members pay the full membership fee, no matter when they renew.
Payment can be made in Sterling or direct to our Euro account (please
contact Membership Secretary for details).
If neither of these options are possible, please add the equivalent of
£10 to your payment to cover bank charges.
Current membership fees are:
Family £29 .......................... Individual
£22
...........................Junior £14
Overseas Membership:
Europe £30...........................Rest of World
£40
Introductory Membership:
For re-enactors who wish to 'try before they buy', Introductory
Membership is available for one event only.
The fee is £5 and can be arranged in advance of an event by contacting
the Membership Secretary, or at the event. Introductory Membership is
only available once, the offer is not repeatable.
This kind of membership only covers an individual for third-party
liability for an event and does not entitle an Introductory Member to
any other benefits of membership beyond attending a single event.
If full membership is taken up in the same year as introductory
membership, the introductory fee of £5 is deductible from the annual
fee. Renewal after this time would be at the full membership rate.
