Membership of the Club is considered from any person who:

resides within the Ward
or
has a professional or business connection within the Ward
or
is involved personally in the civic or cultural life of the Ward
or
has a research or vocational interest in Cripplegate Ward

The Club follows the City tradition of being non-political, undenominational and non-sectarian. The current membership is around 180 of whom about one third live in and around the Ward.

The Club is administered by a Committee consisting of the Master, the Upper and Under Wardens and six Assistants along with the Honorary Secretaries (Office & Social), the Honorary Treasurer, all Past Masters and various co-opted members. The titles given to the Officers reflect the age and traditions of the Club. The Alderman for the Ward is typically the President of the Club and most members of Cripplegate Ward Common Council are also members of the Club.

The cost of membership is currently £25 per annum (£20 per annum if over 65). The Club year begins January 1st, anyone joining after July 1st will receive a £10 discount on their first year's fees.

There is also a once-off joining fee of £20, this includes a copy of the book "The History of Cripplegate Ward" written by Dr Caroline Gordon (past Common Councilman) and Wilfrid Dewhirst (a Past Master of the Club and a past Deputy of the Ward) in 1985. Both authors are deceased. This book provides the new member with a fascinating insight into the story of Cripplegate.
