ESC 2011/2012 Membership Renewals

It’s ESC Membership renewal time again!

You will be happy to learn the General Committee has reviewed the club’s financial position and decided that there will be no increases in any annual membership subscription fees for the upcoming season.  

As a new prompt payment incentive for members to pay their annual subscription fees by the due date of 30th June 2011, all members who have their annual fees received by the club by the due date will go into a raffle to be drawn at the AGM, the prizes being for three members to receive a full refund of all their annual subscription fees paid. This will replace the $50 prompt payment discount previously offered to Family and Senior members only.
