The Grand Council may by majority vote at a meeting of the Grand Council expel any member from the Chivalry or re-instate any member to membership of the Chivalry. There is an honorary grade of membership with admission at the discretion of the Grand Prior. The Order is looking at an Affiliate Membership for non UK residents pending consultation with other Grand Priories. Yes of course, the Members Of Chivalry are the life blood of the Order. This is the wrong question.
Membership is quite literally an opportunity to serve.
No, there are both informal and formal vetting procedures. Most new members are invited to become a member. New Members are usually recommended by a personal friend or contact but anyone seriously interested in learning more about the Order is welcome to seek contact with a local Preceptory who would typically respond with an opportunity to attend a Templar social event by way of initial introduction.
