Join The VAC

Being a VAC Member has its advantages! We offer two types of Membership: 1) Full Entertainer Member (performing artist and associated trades); 2) Associate Non-Entertainer Member. Full Entertainer and Associate Member memberships are both $45 per year. Associate Non-Entertainer Members and Youth Members may not vote on changes to the Club’s constitution, but all are welcome to attend the annual AGM and have a say on the running of the club.

All financial members receive a monthly newsletter, typically sent towards the end of each month, plus access to the club’s Facebook group site. These are always a highly interesting and informative read, and they act as a source of inspiration for all current, past, and upcoming entertainers in New Zealand. All members are welcome to submit entertainment related material to feature, and also to contribute to our Facebook page.

All membership applications are subject to committee approval, as per the VAC constitution. You will be advised when your membership application has been considered / approved, and your membership fees will then become due. A printable form that you can print and physically sign can be found here: WP Membership App V4 under new 2022 Act
