You might want to get in touch digitally first - Drop us a message through the public Signal group

Anyhow, the best way, how to join us is to join us :). Just come in sometime someone else is already there and socialize a bit. See the instructions on how to get here and introduce yourself. This is required, as we only accept members other members can vouch for, and give the council a month to decide about accepting new member.

Don't be afraid if you are not talkative - everyone is welcome.

Joining our society involves paying a membership fee at Member Portal, which currently (2026) is 1000 CZK (600 CZK for students) per month. See the instruction below for information on how to pay. We use membership fees to pay the rent for our space, to buy needed equipment and to support interesting projects, that would not be feasible otherwise. We "process" new membership requests on regular council meetings. We may sometimes ask awaiting new members to show up to one of those meetings if nobody came forward to vouch for them.
