Introduction of a  Financial Hardship Rebate for members doing it tough.

The Club recognises that from time to time a member’s financial circumstances can decline due to job loss or other reasons.  This can result in a member either seeking to cancel a membership and asking for a refund or finding the cost of renewing a membership unaffordable. 

Either way, the Club would like to offer members financial respite if and when such a situation arises.  We will do this by offering either a financial rebate to financial members or a reduced membership fee for those struggling to renew their membership. Eligible members will be provided assistance in the form of a doubling of the usual Active Member Rebate. For example an eligible family would receive a total of $120 in Active Member and Hardship Rebate compared with the usual $60 Active Membership Rebate alone, while a single adult would receive $60 compared to the usual $30 Active Member Rebate alone.
