Playing Fees and Tokens:
Ordinary members, who have not paid in advance through the Pay Up Front alternative, pay a daily fee each day when they join other members playing in the regular sessions (shown on the Club Calendar page). The daily fee is currently $8.
To avoid handling cash the club has created a credit card size "token" which is purchased in advance and given to the Day Captain each day when a member wishes to join the session. On days where there are two sessions of play only one token is required. If a member plays in more than three sessions in a week, no more tokens are required after the first three for the week.
​
Tokens can be purchased by transfer to the club bank account and will be available for collection from a Day Captain at the club a few days later. The club prefers that tokens are purchased in multiples of either 5, 10, 20, or 40. That is, $40, $80, $160, or $320 transferred to the club bank account with a name and the word "tokens" in the description to help identify the receipt. If 40 tokens are purchased in a single transaction an additional 2 tokens are provided.
