Membership

Membership shall be open to both ladies and gentlemen. Each candidate for membership must be proposed and seconded by two members of the club and the nomination given in writing to the Hon. Secretary.

The Committee after considering objections, if any, by any member of the committee to such candidate, may proceed with the election which must be by majority vote of the committee. Membership then becomes effective on payment of Annual Subscription.

Members who have not paid their Annual Subscription by 1^st December in any year will be deemed to have lapsed their membership and must re-apply for election.

Members re-accepted between the 1^st September and the 31^st December will enjoy full membership benefits from date of re-acceptance if their annual subscription is paid. New or re-accepted members on or after 1^st January will be eligible to play in all the Club Competitions but will be ineligible to win first prize in any competition listed on our Club Calendar.

In the event of any member acting in such a manner as to bring the club into disrepute or to disrupt the smooth running of the club or the enjoyment of other members, the committee shall have the right to reprimand such a member, and to warn them as to their future conduct. This may be done verbally or in writing. If the said member should continue to so act, the committee, if they obtain the full majority approval of the Trustees, or the Trustees, if they obtain the approval of two of the Management Committee, shall cancel such persons membership and refund their Annual Subscription for that year.
