Membership fees for 2023

It is the time of year that we will be coming to you requesting you to pay your annual membership fee for 2023.

The fees have been set by the last AGM at 150 euros per person for a full membership for calendar year 2023. For our young members (born 2004 or later) the annual fee is 50 euros.

The simplest way to pay is by bank transfer directly to our CFM bank account, IBAN below: MC 58 1273 9000 7005 5551 0000 031.

Please make sure you mention the first and last name of the members with the payment reference.

The only other way to pay is to wait for our automated invoice system (called Voxpay) which will contain a link which you can use to pay by credit card remotely.

This is the first year we will be using our automated invoicing system so if there are any issues with the invoices please email our accountant Philippe Ewart at Philippe.Ewart@stelios.com.

We are sorry but from this year we will not accept cash or cheques.
