There are many benefits to joining the Royal Commonwealth Society of Victoria. The advantages include meeting new people, picking up a new knowledge, and membership benefits such as discounts at various functions.

New friends:

One of the benefits of joining the RCS Victoria is that it’s a great way to make new friends. It is important to make time for yourself and to meet new people. Joining a society where you meet likeminded people is probably the best way to make new friends. Some people find that meeting new people can be difficult when they tend to frequent the same pubs and clubs and interact with the same group of people. The RCS Victoria provides a relaxed and welcoming environment full of other people who are equally eager to share ideas, stories and to form new acquaintances. It’s a particularly great way to make new friends you share similar values with.
