This comes following discussions between the Whitby Town Board of Directors and the Whitby Town Committee, along with consultation with members of the Whitby Town Supporters' Club.

The changes are designed to simplify the membership structure while continuing to encourage supporters to play an active role in the club's future.

The new membership arrangements will come into force from Friday 3 July.

Under the new arrangements, a club member will be defined as:

All season ticket holders
All Weekly Draw members
Supporters who purchase a standalone club membership

It should be noted that Weekly Draw membership entitles an individual to a single club membership, regardless of how many Weekly Draw numbers they hold. Club membership is attached to the person rather than the draw number itself.

While the possibility of introducing a tiered membership structure was considered, it was agreed that this would not be implemented at the present time. However, the option remains under review and may be revisited in the future as the club continues to develop its membership offering.

Membership Costs
The following membership rates will apply for the 2026/27 season:

Season Ticket Holders - Club membership included free of charge
Weekly Draw Members - £8 per annum (already included within the £60 annual Weekly Draw subscription)
Standalone Club Membership - £10 per annum

Weekly Draw members who currently pay by cash will not automatically become club members, however, should any cash-paying Weekly Draw member wish to become a club member under the new scheme, they may do so by paying the additional yearly membership fee of £8 in-person at Turnbull's Bar.

Membership Cards and Benefits
Membership cards will be issued to all club members, with card serial numbers and membership records maintained through the club's new ePOS system.

Season ticket holders and Weekly Draw members will automatically receive their membership cards. Supporters wishing to purchase a standalone club membership will be able to do so exclusively through Turnbull's Bar.

The new ePOS system is scheduled to be installed on 1 July, when Turnbull's Bar officially returns to club control, however discounts will not be available until 3 July to ensure the new ePOS system is fully operational.

All membership card holders will be entitled to a 10% discount at the bar upon presentation of either a physical membership card or a virtual membership card.

Supporters should note that membership discounts will not be available in Turnbull's Bar until the new arrangements come into force on Friday 3 July.

We would like to thank all supporters for their continued backing of Whitby Town and look forward to welcoming members old and new as we prepare for the 2026/27 season.
