At the time of the establishment of the Society, members were a group of people whose names are still well-known in today’s Alexandria; Judge Jasper Brinton, Aly Pasha Yehia, Max Debbane, Dr. Henry Maurer, Mahmoud Said, Etienne Combe and Alan Rowe, among others.
During the fifties, finance and membership were tumbling, from the high of 250 members, numbers had fallen to 129, only 94 of whom had paid their subscriptions. In the nineties, the numbers are increased into 240 members.
Currently, membership runs to 470, a large proportion of whom are in the 20 - 35 age bracket, a fact which bodes well not just for the Society but for Alexandria herself.
