Membership Of BCA And How To Join
The Beckenham Conservative
Association is a voluntary organisation run entirely by local people. Our
principle objective is to promote the Conservative cause and to secure the
election of Conservative candidates to Parliament, the European Parliament, the
Greater London Assembly and Mayor and the London Borough of Bromley.
Members’ subscriptions and
fundraising events are used entirely to this end.
If you vote Conservative we hope
you will join.
Full
Members
Full Membership of the
Conservative Party is £25 per person a year (£5 if under 23).
-
Full membership entitles you to participate in
all decisions taken by the Party at national, regional and local level.
These include the postal ballot for the election of the Leader of the
Conservative Party, the selection of Parliamentary, European, Borough
Council, GLA and London Mayor Candidates and, at the AGM of the Beckenham
Association, the Chairman and other officers.
-
Membership also brings the right to apply to
be nominated as a candidate for Parliament, the GLA or London Borough of
Bromley as an official Conservative candidate.

Details of all events run by the Beckenham
Conservative Association and priority booking.
How can
you help?
Most of our Members merely pay a
subscription, however we welcome Members who would like to get more involved in
helping!
As you will see from our events
pages there are plenty of activities to attend and in which to participate.
Campaigning
-
Before and during elections we call door to
door to find out how local people intend to vote. On Polling Day we call to
remind those who have said they will vote Conservative that it is Election
Day.
-
We campaign on local and national issues.
-
We deliver, twice a year, our In Touch
newsletter, to every home in the Beckenham constituency. Each ward has its
own edition packed with local news. Why not deliver your road? Good,
healthy exercise which keeps you young!

Helping
to run your local ward branch
In each of the six wards there is
a Conservative branch committee which organises;
-
social functions;
-
gets out the In Touch;
-
runs the election & other campaigns.
The number of meetings held
annually varies. Some meet monthly other less frequently. They always welcome
new Members and supporters who want to get involved.
Running
the Beckenham Conservative Association
Members are also encouraged to
help with running the Association.

this can be by becoming an officer;

being a member of the team who ensure that the
envelopes to our 600 plus members are filled and sent out;
-
helping with the catering for a social event;
