DCAM and MI
We're affiliated to MI as an Aspirant Club, so all DCAM members must either become members of MI on joining, or already be members of MI. This is for insurance reasons and a range of other beneficial reasons.
You can either be:
-
A “full member” of DCAM:
-
Pay a DCAM membership fee and pay your MI membership fee via DCAM.
-
-
An “associate member” of DCAM:
-
Pay a DCAM membership fee, but pay your MI membership fee via a different club.
-
DCAM membership fee
The DCAM membership fee is €15 (excluding MI membership fee) regardless of your personal circumstances.
MI membership fee
The MI membership fee varies by age, but when paid via DCAM it is less than the MI membership fee if you join MI as an individual (€41.60).
DCAM membership year
Our membership year is identical to MI's membership year: it's from November 1st to October 31st of the next year.
