hi all ok so the mebership is not going up great news but it is for me and i would probley say 90% of other members it is cause i know a lot of us pay by direct debit its not my fault other people cancel it in the 6 years i have been at this club i have nerver canclled mine so why should i have to pay extra to cover other people. leaving the club or failing to make payments

i am to belive that the 1st month dd will now be 122.50 with the 40 pound on the card ? why is it seems i am being forced to top up an amount that i would not normally top up my personal situation is streached to the limit at the moment as i am getting married in 4 weeks its just another problem for me to worry about so what am i ment to do ??

many thanks paul lawrence

I have some sympathy with Pauls issue with the increase in DD payments and I'm sure he's right that the majority of members would choose to pay this way. There is a potential solution though that would keep everyone happy if the member follows these actions:

1. Take out a 0% interest on purchases credit card. (there are lots of introductory offers around at the moment and the offers are usually for 0% interest on purchases for about 15 months - some are more, some are less).

2. Pay your golf sub and top up card all up front using your new credit card.

3. Set up a direct debit with your bank to repay your purchase to the credit card company in twelve equal payments.

4. DO NOT use the new credit card for anything else!

5. After your twelve payments to the credit card company, cancel the card and look for another one ready for next years subscription !

So, the club gets all the money up front and the member gets to pay by installment with no added premium.

I hope this helps

hi chris thanks for your idear i have 1 credit card with the wife to be thats enough for us at the monent and say if i put my membership fees on one and lost my job i would then not be able to make repayments = trouble i dont need. im in the glass trade its not the best trade in the world at the moment still feeling the effects of the downturn in the business ie short week for 2 years now and no increase in wages either and im damm sure im not the only one in the country feeling the hard times we are all strugling in one way or another. at the end of the day the 1st thing to go will be hobbies and Socializing.
