No, everyone is welcome at our weekly forums. On occasion, we have special events that are for members only, but the majority of our events are open to the public.
Fully paid registrations may be canceled up to Monday at noon before the weekly Wednesday forum. CMC will issue the attendee a registration credit for the value of the paid registration to be used towards a future forum. After that time, no cancellations will be accepted. Columbus Metropolitan Club will cancel and reschedule a forum in the event of a Level 2 Snow Emergency as declared by the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, and will alert registrants via the website and by email if possible.
Yes, you must register in advance. We are unable to accommodate walk-ins.

In the case of other, please call or e-mail us in order to provide more information. We are unable to process special meal requests at the forums so please make sure you indicate your choice in advance.
