Exclusively for our newsletter subscribers, dual membership application for the co-operative and also for the community composting scheme is now open! Fill in the Google form on this link – it’s dual-purpose – you can become a shareholder in BATCOM CBS for the princely sum of £1, and/or join the composting scheme before it opens!

80% of our co-op Membership is limited to people who live and work in the Brimscombe and Thrupp parish, so there may be a wait if you live outside the boundary.  The composting scheme itself is for Brimscombe and Thrupp households only. Please read the ‘Get Involved’ section of our website for more details.
