1.2 All joining fees, subscriptions and other receipts shall become the property of the Proprietor. On cancellation or termination of membership no refund will be made to the member of any part of the initial joining fee or monthly membership payments.

1.3 It is a condition of acceptance of membership that the member agrees to pay the initial subscription fee and agrees to be bound by the terms of these rules.

3 Membership

3.1 The Proprietor reserves the right to reject within its reasonable discretion any application for membership of the club. Applications may be rejected where for example the applicant owes money to the Proprietor, or has behaved in an unacceptable way on the Proprietor's premises.

3.2 Membership is personal to the member at the location for which membership is granted and cannot be transferred. A member may not loan his/ her membership card or permit it to be used by anyone else. The Proprietor may assign the benefit of this agreement to any person, firm or company at any time upon giving at least 30 days prior written notice to the member.
