Membership of The Guildford Institute has proved to be nothing short of delightful. Where else can you find sociability, excellent and reasonably-priced courses, memorable trips, a high standard of weekly talks, a fascinating library and a tempting Café ? All available to the general public, but only membership gives you discounts, borrowing rights, a magazine and regular updates. We have been members since before The Institute re-claimed its independence in 2008, and will continue to be so, with the greatest pleasure, as it goes from strength to strength.
