Membership
Our subscription year is from 1st May to 30th April.
Our preferred method of payment is by a monthly direct debit, but annual subscriptions are also available.
Both payment methods are continuous until otherwise instructed. Cancellations can only be made on the 1st May each year when the subscription year begins. If you leave mid-year you remain liable for any outstanding subscriptions which must be paid if you wish to re-join.
Guests may attend the club on only three occasions in any one year, after which it is expected that the visitor will apply to become a Member. You can apply here but if you need more information please contact our New Members Secretary.
