Are any events running?
We can announce, unless there are new lockdown measures or its deemed not to be safe to by the authorities, training will restart on Wednesday 8th June 2020. Existing members must indicate they are attending on the Teamo app. Those that do not have the Teamo app should get in touch with us the day before (at the very latest) each training session, so that our training groups can be sorted by the coaching team. There are rules that everybody concerned during training sessions must abide by, they will be available on the Training session in due course.
No other events are taking place until it is deemed safe to do so.

Membership payments
As members are aware, all club activities have been closed down on Government advice on "social distancing". As a result, membership payments may be an issue to some members as incomes become uncertain. Below sets out how the club will proceed with membership payments for the next few months:
Members who pay through GMS (the old system of direct debits- which will be shown as FSI, rather than GoCardless) will be contacted in April, to arrange refunds, (as direct debits cannot be changed in time). Those members who have paid one year in advance will also be contacted about options with their April payments.
As we are due to have the club's Annual General Meeting on 15th May 2020 (most likely to be an online AGM as it stands), it has been decided that members who have up to date memberships as of 31st March 2020 will be allowed to participate in the AGM (Participate means stand for election and voting). More information about the AGM and how it will be conducted will be announced in due course.
If you have been charged for membership at the wrong amount, you can apply for a refund here. Alternatively, you will not be charged any membership until the amount you paid in error has made up for that amount.
If you need to set up a new direct debit mandate, please click here to set one up. This mandate is NOT linked to any payment plans, the Treasurer will contact you to set up a payment plan. Alternatively, you can contact him by telephone or by video conferencing systems.
If you have any enquiries about payments, please contact the Treasurer. He may take some time to reply to messages due to the higher demand of his time at present. Please be patient when contacting him.
It is important that we keep your contact details up to date with the club, so that we can contact you when club activities resume. Please contact any member of the Committee if you need to change contact details.
