Memberships for 2010

The Satellite Badminton Club is now accepting memberships for 2010. Membership is open to all existing players at the club, including those who have been invited to the club.

Due to the club's increased operating costs, we regret to announce that we will be increasing membership fees for the first time in four years. The increase will help to ensure the playing conditions we currently enjoy can be sustained. Full and half year membership fees will increase by $10 and $5 respectively. Session fees will remain the same.

2010 Membership Fees

  • Full-Year: $40 (standard), $30 (concession)
  • Half-Year: $25 (standard), $20 (concession)

Despite the increase, membership still offers great value. Members need only attend 13 sessions to recover the cost of their membership.

All current memberships will expire on the 31st of January. Members are encouraged to renew their membership by the 1st of February to avoid paying the visitors fee.

Players can renew or apply for membership by submitting a Membership Form along with payment. Forms are available at the club or the forms section of this website. If you are downloading the form, you will now be able to enter your information directly in the form before printing it.

Important Dates

  • 1st January 2010 - Memberships for 2010 open
  • 31st January 2010 - Current memberships for 2009 expire
  • 1st February 2010 - Deadline for membership renewal
 

Simplification of Session Fees

Effective as of the 1st of February 2010, there will no longer be a special session rate for students. Each player will simply be classified as a member or non-member for payment purposes.

Students however, can now access the discounted session fee by becoming a member at the concession rate previously only available to seniors.

 

New Player Registrations Mandatory

As the waiting list concept introduced in late June has been successful in keeping attendances to manageable levels, the club will now be adopting the procedure permanently.

Before visiting the club, all prospective players must:

  1. Register to play
  2. Wait for an invitation from the club

The waiting time may vary depending on the current attendance levels at the club as well as any cancellations from people on the waiting list.

As we believe in a fair-go system, all invites will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. To get an indication of the average waiting time and next invite date, check the waiting list status box on our home page.

Session Time Extended

The club wishes to advise all players that we have extended our booking for the hall by one hour, bringing the total session duration to four hours. The opening time will remain the same at 7:30pm, whilst the closing time will now be 11:30pm.

Due to council requirements, we are required to finish on time. This means that all games must be completed by 11:30pm. Equipment should be promptly put away thereafter.
