Do you have an interest in the art of clowning but you are either not ready to take up the art or have no wish to do so. If so, the Friends of Clowns is there for you. The cost of membership is less than that for Clown members but you will still receive The Joey magazine and be able to attend all events where Clowns International is represented or has organised them. In fact, everything is available to you. However, if you decide that clowning is for you, then you can reclassify as a Clown member and pay the extra membership fee
