As far as I'm aware the club will be reopening. In terms of the renewal date I've been in touch with them as well, as I become age 65 in 4 weeks time so need to know if I qualify for an OAP membership fee, and if I need to send them evidence, i.e. my birth certificate for example (as I don't expect us to be back in by next month). I've also asked if they do actually plan on requesting renewal fees for the coming 12 months, given we only had access to the club for a few weeks on the present renewal year (I don't mind paying, but it would be good to know what the committee's plans are, given the year just finishing) I've also asked if they will be providing us with bank details to send our renewal amount to, and when I find out I'll let you know.

iainmac Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 The MHSC had intended to open on Cup Final day but further COVID restrictions on hospitality knocked that on the head.

Hi there, the club will be reopening, when it can. I got a reply from them saying they are presently looking at what will happen with subcriptions for this year and will be in touch with members shortly. Sorry can't give you anything more concrete than that at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there The club announced this morning that due to the amount of time the club was closed during the renewal period just finishing all subscriptions will remain in place for the 2021 period. Some members have asked about making a donation to help make sure the club's costs are covered during this year and that is something I'll be doing.
