CASH / CREDIT ON MEMBERSHIP CARDS

Following a successful 6 month trial, we are pleased to announce that with effect from Monday 9 January, we will be offering all Members the option of transferring cash to their Membership Card for hassle-free purchases over the bar. You can also top-up via debit or credit card if that’s preferable - any deposit you make will give you a receipt by way of confirmation. You can also request a report of transactions that you have made by visiting the bar during opening hours.

We are setting the initial top-up limit to £150. We can cancel any Member cards that are lost or stolen within seconds of it being reported and the credit balance and accrued loyalty points will automatically be transferred to the new card issued by one of the managers on duty. Any cash top-ups need to be in note form and in round amounts of £10.

The Members who agreed to participate in the trial are very satisfied with the security and accuracy of the facility and we believe that this will prove popular for a number of you who prefer to budget differently and deal in cash. Transaction recording is completely secure and we have safeguards in place to protect and reassure you so you can rest assured that it’s only you that’s spending your money!

This is a practice that’s very common at other Clubs and is an enhancement to our Member offering - a benefit of being part of the Club, whether it be via a playing or social subscription. We will return to cash ‘proper’ as a means of payment in due course but we are facing logistical issues with our bank; we anticipate that these will be resolved fairly soon.

Please see any Manager on duty if you have any questions or concerns.
