The following is a list of members of the Club since 1930, derived from early log reports and minutes of meetings at which members were elected.
We do not, in general, keep records of when members left the area, resigned (formally or informally), or died.
Current members are marked with an asterisk. These are members who have either paid their subscription for the year (or are likely to pay!) or, as Life Members, are not required to do so.
We like to stay in touch with those whose membership is no longer current and to see them at our events from time to time.
Elections to Honorary Membership
Honorary Membership has been granted on three occasions to people we particularly wished to recognise but who would not otherwise qualify to be members of the Club.
| 1951 | Jack Thompson (died 1999) |
| A Club member from 1934-38, he was a printer who in subsequent years made free gifts to St Albans Morris Men of much publicity material. | |
| 1971 | Ewart Russell (died 1989) |
| “in recognition of his services to The Morris, and in particular for the fellowship he has always shown to the men of St Albans.” | |
| 1973 | Mollie Du Cane (died 1991) |
| Her fiddle playing for our shows kept the Club alive during many years around and during World War II when male musicians were not available to us. | |
| 2016 | James Rose |
