These can be purchased in units of £500, up to a ceiling of £5,000, and the Club promises repayment in 21 years. No interest is paid on the loan, but the Club gives a discount on the annual subscription of Debenture Holders, related to the size of the loan and clearing bank interest rates. Life Members receive a credit to spend at the Club instead.
