Join the Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne

If you are interested in joining the Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne, you need to know members are “invested” at ceremonies preceding formal Chapter dinners (which are held three times a year in Champagne, twice a year in London and, in the North of England, either annually or every other year depending upon numbers of applicants). These ceremonies are conducted by “Dignitaires” from Reims or by the UK Consul, applicants for membership must complete the formal Application form and need to be proposed and seconded by current members who feel able to support the particular applicant.

An “application pack” will be sent to persons whose expression of interest form indicates to the OCC North GB Committee that the individual is likely to meet the criteria applicable for becoming a Chevalier of the Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne. Full details of the requirements and responsibilities of applicants are set out in the Application Pack. Annual subscriptions are, currently, £80 per annum (of which 80 Euros is passed to the Headquarters in Reims) and the one-off investiture fee for the rank of Chevalier is £100. In our Consulate we endeavour to keep the charge for each formal dinner in the range of £125 – 175 per person.

If you would like more detailed information about becoming a member or would like an application form please contact info@champagnenorth.com

Please bear in mind that the Committee does not comprise “full time officials” consequently there may be a delay before you receive a response.

We look forward you welcoming you as a member.
