Q. Do I need to complete both forms (1 & 2) when renewing my membership?
A. Provided the renewal does not include any Junior members then you only complete and return (Part 2 of 2) the actual membership form.
Q. Does the Junior Consent Form section need to be completed every year?
A. Yes, this is required to ensure that our records are up to date as circmustances can change year on year.
Q. How do I pay the subscription?
A. The options are detailed on the relevant membership form. Most common is to pay by debit or credit card. When selecting the direct debit option to pay monthly then an email address must be provided for correspondence and to set up the DD mandate.
Q. Can I pay by cash?
A. Yes, you can pay by cash at the Clubhouse, please ensure you get a receipt for the cash handed over.
Q. How will I be recognised as a member?
A. On renewal or acceptance as a new member you will be issued with your membership card.
Q. If I am new to the area and don't know anyone how do I get a proposer and seconder ?
A. This can be arranged through the Membership Secretary or directly with any of the playing sections, use the Contact (Click here) information on the website to make contact and the Clubhouse team will introduce you to the right person to speak to.
Q. While I appreciate that if I want to play both cricket and football I should pay more do I pay the full applicable fee for each?
A. No, to encourage and support our members who want to play sport all year round we allow a 50% discount on the playing fee for the 2nd sport selected (NB: where fees for the 2 sports differ then the discount applies to the lower fee)
Q. Am I able to try out a sport or use the facilities prior to applying for membership?
A. Yes, you are welcome to visit the Club and see the facilities first hand and also any of the playing sections would be delighted to have you along to introduce you to other members and to test out the playing facilities on offer prior to you submitting your application form.
Q. How do I work out my monthly payment when electing to pay by direct debit?
A. These are detailed on the respective membership forms and on completion of the form you will then be able to see your monthly payment.
Q. Why if I am a football member can I spread the cost over 12 months but only over 6 months if a cricket or bowling member?
A. These are linked to the length of the respective playing seasons - bowling and cricket have restricted seasons while football is in essence all year round?
Q. If my situation changes during the course of the membership year can I cancel my membership?
A. When a member resigns, a period of notice of two full months, with payment, is required. Members who have paid a full subscription at the start of their membership year will be entitled to a proportional refund. Members paying by DD are required to cancel the DD mandate only after the 2 months notice period has been paid unless they have made alternative arrangements to cover the payment for the 2 months period. All resignations must be made in writing to the membership secretary or via email to [email protected]
