You do not have to be a big household name to be a Water Rat.

Indeed, many of our members you will not have heard of. Each one though is a name within the entertainment profession; known and admired by his peers and considered the right sort of person to join our ranks.

It isn't easy to become a Rat! A highly involved vetting and voting procedure takes place before a new member can be initiated. Here is our current list of members.
