Each member paid a subscription of one guinea a year. In return they all received a large engraving annually, said to be at least equal in value to their subscription. In addition they had the chance of winning a prize at a yearly draw, initially either a proof copy of that year's print, or a painting. The committees of earlier art unions had selected the prize works for their members, but the winners of Art Union of London prizes had a free choice of any painting, up to a given value, shown at any of the London exhibitions that year.

London: Watts & Co. Members of the association paid a subscription fee and received books annually to the value of that fee. The Association became quite successful after 1902, when it started selling reprints of serious scientific works by authors such as Julian Huxley, Ernst Haeckel and Matthew Arnold. It achieved even greater success through the Thinker's Library series of books, published by Watts & Co. from 1929 until 1951 under the leadership of Charles Watts's son Fredrick. The Association's continued success in selling books of a heretical nature, mostly by agnostic or atheist authors, contributed to a growing rationalist zeal and a growing demand for this type of literature.

The publishing company Mál og menning was established on 17 June 1937, combining the press Heimskringla, which Kristinn E. Andrésson had founded in 1934, Ragnar í Smára's company Smári og fleirum, and the Félag byltingarsinnaðra rithöfunda (the Society of Revolutionary Authors, which included amongst others Kristinn E. Andrésson himself, Halldór Laxness, Steinn Steinarr, Jóhannes úr Kötlum and Halldór Stefánsson). Mál og menning was originally a book club, to which people paid a subscription in order to receive books in the post. The first seven years saw the number of subscribers growing beyond 6,000. But the company soon began publishing its own books, with the objective of making good quality literature available at a low price.

Golf at the University of Cambridge can be traced back to 1869, when a group of undergraduates played golf over the heath in neighbouring Royston, initially cutting the holes themselves. This embryo club boasted 17 members, who paid a subscription fee of two shillings and sixpence. However, given its distance from Cambridge (8 miles), the Royston-based club did not survive beyond 1871."The Early Years of University Golf", from John Gillum's book, The Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society: 100 Years of Serious Fun, Grant Books, 1997 The CUGC was officially founded in 1875 by W.T. Linskill (Jesus), and played at Coldham's Common (in the general area of the present airport) until the Club's current home club, Royal Worlington and Newmarket Golf Club, was opened in 1893.

In January 1733, before Handel had fired Senesino, there were already plans to start a second opera company in London to rival Handel's as John West, 2nd Earl De La Warr, wrote to the Duke of Richmond: > 'There is a spirit got up against the Dominion of Mr. Handel, a subscription > carry'd on, and Directors chosen, who have contracted with Senesino, and > have sent for Cuzzoni, and Farinelli...'. The situation was made worse by Handel's decision to double the prices of the tickets to the oratorio Deborah, even for those who had already paid a subscription for the whole season: > 'Hendel thought, encouraged by the Princess Royal, it had merit enough to > deserve a guinea, and the first time it was performed at that price...there > was but a 120 people in the House. The subscribers being refused unless they > would pay a guinea, they, insisting upon the right of their silver tickets, > forced into the House, and carried their point.'(letter from Lady Irwin to > Lord Carlisle on 31 March) All this increased the hostility towards Handel's company and his audience began to look for alternative entertainment.
