Not sure if these quite fit in to clubs, maybe better in the bandcamp section, but I have two subscriptions from UK based labels so thought it worth sharing.
Specialist Subject Records - annual deal. Label releasing a lot of indie/punk stuff. They also have a great distro which allows access to some great US releases for far cheaper than postage direct from those labels. After buying a chunk of their 2017 catalogue I subscribed in 2018 and re-subbed in 2019. 2018 had some fantastic records in it, the highlights being Muncie Girls - Fixed Ideals and Jeff Rosenstock -Post. Last years can be picked up for a reduced price at the end of the year too, it looks like they add £10 postage to the US. Everything I've bought has come with a bandcamp code too, they usually email a code out early too. Cost for whatever comes out in 2019 is £100 and 2018 is £60 for 4 LPs, 2EPs and a 7".
Normally as a limited number at the start of the year, DIY punk label Make That A Take have a season tickets too. So far this year there's been the hardcore Get It Together LP and a blues/folk rock EP by Holy Snakes. Theirs is a mix of CDs and LPs though. Highlights from last year were the third LP by post-hardcore Kaddish, the EPs by pop-punk Goodbye Blue Monday, Tragical History Tours album and Please Believes debut LP. You'll see a bunch of this stuff tagged as "ecossemo" which is Scottish emo/hardcore/post-hardcore influenced music.
From both you normally get extras chucked in like zines, badges, stickers and the like, record tote bags, t-shirts and a teatowel.
