Committee to stagger Membership fee
Due to the unforeseen circumstances, the Committee came to the decision that the number of months that the club has been unavailable for use will be credited to all paid up members.
The plan is to extend next years' renewal date of January 2021, by the number of months that were lost due to the clubs' closure. It is overall the simplest plan logistically, and seems fair to all.
Your views on this issue were most welcome. thanks to all who emailed us.
Please continue to email us with any suggestions you may have, or If you have any other questions regarding the club or membership.
We ask for your patience and understanding during these unprecedented times.
