Committee Meetings:
The next Executive Committee meeting is on Monday 15th February at 8pm.
Membership:
Club membership is now due.
To try and encourage a larger membership body, especially to include more parents of our Underage members, the Committee agreed to reduce the membership rates this year. Membership for 2016 is a very reasonable
- £20 per adult,
- £30 for an adult couple,
- £10 for students and OAPs,
- £5 for underage (max £10 per Underage family).
All players must be members, but we’d encourage anyone else who isn’t a member yet to consider joining. Working together, a larger and more active membership will build a better Club for us all. To make it even more convenient, membership can now be purchased online at http://www.dungivengac.com/membership-online/ – just click the “sign up now” link.
