Membership

The ICCA membership is fixed at fifty.  Collectors wanting to become members of the ICCA should apply for membership to the Right or Chief Correspondent. The application should include number of years collecting, size of collection, and areas of collecting focus, names of members personally known (if any), and some biographical information.  A photograph and detailed description of what applicant regards as their six best corkscrews should be included.

Officers

Right, Chief Correspondent, Treasurer, Editor of the Bottle Scrue Times, and Toast Master

Honorary Member

The “honorary” title is sometimes bestowed as decided by the Right, and usually conferred on someone who has accomplished notable things in, or for, the ICCA.

Associate Members

The “associate” member is someone who has either given up active collecting, but was a long time ICCA member wants to stay connected to the organization.  Alternatively, an “associate” member may not actually be a collector, but is instrumental in advancing corkscrew collecting—an example may be an expert at an auction house.  Associate members could also be spouses of deceased Addicts if they were invited to be associate members (and they desired to be one).

Addict’s Duties

Members are required to send a “Best Six” to all other members each year. A member must attend at least one Annual General Meeting every three years. Ideally, Addicts will attend every meeting.
