Membership applications are up, mail outs are on the way!

And the 2010/11 season is off and running ...

The membership applications for curling this season at the Royal Kingston Curling Club, are now up and available for download. In fact, 4 members have already completed their applications ... and one has paid in full (thanks, Barry)!!

Those who rely on paper copies in the mail, should receive them later this week - pass the word.

If you have already taken a look at this year's forms, you should have discovered how easy it is to enter your data. Our web helper, Teresa Wilson, created a template to allow typed info to be printed from your printer - no more handwritting to decipher in the office - and submitted to the office. And, as 5 members have now discovered (while typing this, Mike Parks' application just arrived by this method) ... emailing them to the office also works.

At this time, there is no plan to take payments online, so you still have to submit payment by one of the following methods:

1. cheque


2. debit


3. cash

While credit cards are accepted for Bar, Proshop and Rental transactions, they are not accepted for club dues. Since the revenue generated from yearly dues is budgeted so tightly, giving the banks a cut off the top to process the transactions (1.5-2%) adds up too quickly ... we hope the members will continue to understand and appreciate this policy.

Much more to come ... keep checking back to the blog for updates.

Good Curling!!!
