CCD Membership

Membership

CCD is a membership organisation and encourages all those who support its work to become members. You can apply to be either a full or a supporting member of CCD, unless you/your organisation does not live or work in Devon. Members of Devon Association of Parish Councils or Devon Playing Fields Association are automatically affiliate members of CCD. Fees are kept low and in hardship cases may be waived altogether.

Membership benefits

Supporting and Full Members receive our quarterly magazine Village Green, an invitation to CCD Conferences, training courses and events, use of CCD library and photocopier at cost by arrangement, and are invited to join the CCD Advisory Committee. All members with their own websites can opt to be included in the ‘links page’ of CCD’s website.

In addition Full members have voting rights at elections and general meetings, the opportunity to stand for election to the Board of Trustees, and receive a copy of CCD’s annual report and accounts. Illustrated annual reviews are also produced for all members.

Full and Supporting members are welcome to join CCD’s Advisory Committee, which meets quarterly, currently on Monday mornings. This committee has three functions:

• debating the issues affecting people who live in the communities of rural Devon
• acting as a sounding board for new CCD initiatives and programmes
• influencing policies and programmes which affect rural Devon

Membership Fees

Supporting fees are currently £18 for Supporting Members and £30 for Full Members.
