Membership of the ACS is open to everyone – those who wish to engage in active research or statistical compilation, and those who are interested in reading and studying the results of fellow members’ researches – and indeed both!
Annual membership commences on 1 December of each year. Membership benefits include four copies a year of the ACS Journal The Cricket Statistician and a voucher, currently worth £8, to use towards the cost of one order of ACS print publications each year.
There are two options for your type of membership:
Postal membership, under which you receive your quarterly Journal through the post, while other material – our regular Membership Bulletins and sales flyers, and once a year our AGM papers – are sent by email. Members without email can ask for this ‘other material’ to be sent as hard copies along with the Journals. Because postage costs vary across the world, the cost of postal membership varies according to the address to which the Journal is to be sent.
Digital membership, which has a single cost regardless of your location. Digital members receive all of the above documents electronically, including the Journal.
Members can switch between postal and digital membership if they wish, but any changes will only take effect at the end of the membership year for which the member is already subscribed.
For paying for your membership, we strongly recommend using Direct Debit, as it is quick, secure and cost-effective both for our members and for the Association as a whole. It also saves you having to remember to renew your subscription each year. You can download the Direct Debit form (PDF). After completing and signing the form, please return it to the Membership Secretary at membership@acscricket.com. Please note that there is a £2 discount for all adult members paying by Direct Debit.
Alternatively, you can join the ACS online via PayPal, using the drop-down menu below to choose the appropriate membership category. You don’t need a PayPal account to use this facility; payments can be made by debit or credit card. There is no discount for PayPal subscriptions, as the ACS has to pay a charge on each transaction.
Current annual membership rates (for the year to 30 November 2025) – all prices are in GBP:
Digital membership, anywhere in the world, costs £25.
Postal membership rates: UK and Europe £29, Rest of the World £34.
All of these rates are reduced by £2 if you pay by Direct Debit.
Those under 18 years of age may apply for Junior Membership, which costs £10 a year. Those applying for Junior Membership should supply evidence of their date of birth to the Membership Secretary (at the address above), and should also inform the Membership Secretary if they wish to receive their mailings in electronic form or by post. The Direct Debit discount does not apply to Junior members.
