The membership year runs from 1 September to 31 August. The office confirms the current fee before payment.
See what membership includesWhat members value
New arrivals value the speed of the welcome. Longer term residents value the mix of people and the chance to keep learning about Bulgaria. Volunteers value a route into practical charity work that does not require a full time commitment.
The club is deliberately broad. Some members come mainly for the social calendar. Others come for the bazaar, the book group, the language tables or the charity work. Most end up doing more than one thing.
A year of membership
The membership year follows the club's annual cycle. Members receive the newsletter and the event calendar, can join interest groups and can take part in the Annual General Meeting. The office confirms the current fee and payment details when an application is approved.
The Bulgarian membership rule
Bulgarian membership is limited to 15 percent of the total membership. Bulgarian applicants also provide two letters of support from international members. The rule protects the club's international character while keeping a strong local connection.
