The Birmingham Press Club is a unique organisation – it is the only one of its kind that brings together members of the media industry in the West Midlands with the corporate sector.
The Club has a packed social programme (click here for full details) and is THE place for anyone who wants to meet the region’s journalists.
In fact, for anyone who has an interest in the media in the West Midlands, either as a journalist, or someone who needs to keep in touch with what’s going on in the region’s newspapers, magazines, television, radio and online media, can you afford NOT to be a member?
Ordinary membership is available at the astonishingly reasonable price of just £45 plus VAT (£54) – for that, you get discounted tickets for our various events, including celebrity lunches, the annual ball, and the Christmas lunch.
You also get first call on events such as ‘meet the media’, our media networking events, and are also able to take advantage on our ‘First Thursday’ networking events (which are FREE to paid-up members).
For full-time working journalists, membership of the Press Club is FREE.

NEW – student membership
We recognise how important it is to encourage those who are just coming in to the media industry, and have therefore introduced a student membership scheme for just £10 (£12 including VAT).
This scheme is open to all full-time students on recognised journalism or media courses – anyone joining on this basis will be able to take advantage of all the benefits open to ordinary members.
