Membership

Your contributions, whether they be financial or otherwise, are vital in supporting the running of our Club. Regular giving helps finance the day-to-day running costs of our teams and maintenance of the Clubhouse.

Contribution Plans

Type	Contribution Plan (2017/18 season)
Senior Player	£20 per month by Direct Debit*.
Full-time Student or Recent Graduate	£10 per month by Direct Debit*.
Social / Non-Playing Member	Suggested minimum contribution of £10 per month by Standing Order or Direct Debit*

*Payments set up by the 27th of the current month will be debited on the 1st of the following month.

Terms and Conditions

The membership season runs from 1st July to 30th June each year. When signing up for a Direct Debit for the first time, the full amount will be pro-rata from the date of signup until the 30th June.
Membership is automatically renewed each season unless you inform the Club otherwise of your intention to leave (see below).
Voting Members of the Club must be aged 18+. Senior Players, Full-time Students and Social Members are therefore granted voting rights.
The Club's Voting Membership Operates under similar rules to an Industrial Provident Society, i.e. one member one vote.
All Members will respect the rules of the Club at all times, and may face disciplinary action or have their membership cancelled if they fail to uphold these.
Any player not contributing financially to the Club may not be considered for selection for competitive fixtures.
All contributions received may be considered for Gift Aid, on the condition that you have paid the same amount or more in Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in the relevant tax year. The Club will take setting up your Direct Debit as tacit consent for Gift Aid being claimed.

Complimentary hire of the Clubhouse (subject to availability)
