Memberships
The Friends of the Settle-Carlisle Line (FoSCL) relies on the financial support of its members and individual donors to fund a wide range of projects that support England's most scenic railway. You can use the products in this section to join the Friends of the Settle-Carlisle Line, to purchase a new gift membership and to renew an existing membership.
Membership Types
FoSCL memberships can be purchased online via two different webshop products:
- straightforward Memberships for yourself or someone in your household and
- Gift Memberships.
The only difference is that the latter allows you to enter the details of the gift recipient.
In either case, the following membership categories are available:
- Individual (Adult) Membership: As a member you will receive our eagerly awaited quarterly magazine.
- Junior membership: As above, but juniors must be under 16 years old to qualify for the lower membership fee.
- Family (Joint) Membership: This allows two adults living at the same address to become members of the Friends for a much reduced fee. The 'family' will receive ONE copy of the magazine and be entitled to ONE vote at the AGM.
- Corporate Membership: Your organisation will be entitled to six copies of the magazine (and you'll be supporting our projects).
- Life Membership: Join the Friends for life and make a significant contribution to the projects that we fund. Individual and Family (Joint) Life Memberships are available.
