These terms and conditions form part of your membership with Church Stretton Golf Club Ltd (‘the Golf Club’). Your membership of the Golf Club is based on the acceptance of these terms and conditions and the Club Rules. Please make sure that you read them carefully and understand them. If you have any questions, please ask the Secretary@churchstrettonfgolfclub.co.uk.

2. Period of Membership

Membership is for a fixed period from your date of joining to 31 March (‘the Membership Year’). If you wish to accept membership you are committing yourself to the full Membership Year.

3. Membership Fees

The cost of your membership will depend on the type of membership you have chosen. We will set out all amounts that you need to pay for your membership on receipt of your application. If you are not sure about the membership fees you are paying, please speak to the Membership Secretary. Affiliation Fees to England Golf and Shropshire and Herefordshire Union of Golf Clubs are payable for all Categories.

4. Payment Options

The types of payment option we offer are as follows:

• Pay in Full. With this payment option you must make payment in full. You cannot use the facilities of the Golf Club until payment has been received. No further payment is due until the following year’s renewal date of 1 April.
• Deferred Payment Scheme (‘DPS’). With this payment option, you agree to pay your membership fee by monthly instalments for the Membership Year. Monthly instalment amounts will be calculated by the Membership Secretary. Payments will be collected by direct debit on the 6th day of each month using the golf club’s selected payment system provider, with the final payment due on 6 March. By selecting this payment option, you confirm that you will pay the full membership fees over 12 months (or prorated if joining after April of the golf year)

5. Suspending your Membership

In accordance with the Club Rules referred to above, you may apply in writing to the Board of Directors for your membership to be suspended from the start of the Membership Year, only. Suspension of Membership during the Membership Year may be accepted only in exceptional circumstances, for instance for health issues. Members should be aware that any suspension of their membership will break their continuity of membership. The Board shall have absolute discretion on whether such application should be accepted. If the Board shall approve the application for suspension, it shall be subject to the following:

• If the member’s circumstances change, the member can apply to the Board for reinstatement during the period of suspension.
• A member may apply to the Board for an extension of the suspension at the end of the Membership Year but such request must be made in writing to the Membership Secretary not less than 30 days prior to the commencement of the next Membership Year.
• The member shall lose all rights and privileges of their membership for the period of suspension.

6. Resigning your Membership

If a member shall resign their membership for whatever reason during the Membership Year they shall not be entitled to any refund of the membership fee paid for the remainder of the Membership Year. If a member shall resign their membership for whatever reason during the Membership Year and has elected to pay their membership fee under DPS they shall continue to be liable to pay the balance of their membership fee for the remainder of the Membership Year until the membership fee has been paid in full. If the member shall default in making any payment under DPS on the due date the balance then owing for the Membership Year shall be immediately payable in full and interest will be charged at the rate of 4% above the base lending rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgement
