Become a member of Microburn
Membership isn't a ticket or a status thing - it's becoming involved in the way the org is governed and managed. Members are the people who legally own Microburn and decide how it's run. It's free, it's for the life of the burn, and it's entirely your choice. The only catch is if the event is forced to wind up, you are financially liable for £1.
Three things people mix up
They sound alike, but they're separate. Only one of them is membership.
That's a ticket, a separate thing entirely. You don't need to be a member to buy one, and being a member doesn't get you one.
That's volunteering or joining a camp. It's separate too, and just as welcome. You can do all of it without ever becoming a member.
That's membership, and it's what this page is about. You get a vote on big decisions and a hand in steering Microburn. Read on before you decide.

Questions people ask
Do I need to be a member to come to the burn?
No. Tickets and membership are completely separate. Plenty of people come every year and never become members, and that's totally fine.
Will it cost me anything?
No. Membership is free, with no dues. The only money ever attached to it is the £1 guarantee, and that only bites in the unlikely event the company is wound up owing money.
Do I have to renew?
We'll send you a friendly nudge when it's time, and renewing is one click. If you'd rather step back, you can leave any time. No hard feelings.
Can I change my mind?
Of course. You can resign whenever you like from your account. The £1 guarantee tails off a year after you leave, and then you're fully out.
Ready to have a say?
There's no fee. The one promise you make is the £1 guarantee. Applying takes a couple of minutes, and you can stop and come back any time.
