Membership of CHPSC is open to everyone, without favour or discrimination.

The fees and entry fees (if any) will be set by the Management Committee annually

The Management Committee can, at its discretion, change the membership Categories as it finds necessary with changing circumstances.

Annual subscriptions relate to the calendar year and if not paid within one month of becoming due are deemed to be in arrears and membership status, and benefits, will be withdrawn.

Membership is personal to the member and it cannot be assigned or delegated to another person.

A cashless point of sale system operates for Bar purchases which Members are requested to use by making prior deposits of money on to their membership card.

The card should always be presented at the till to enable a discount to be applied. A discount will only be applied if a valid card is presented at the time of purchase and that the membership status has been confirmed by CHPSC to Plas Heli and to the Franchisee. (this could take a few days so please pay your membership fees in advance of your visit to ensure a discount on your purchase)

The card must not be passed on or shared with non-members, for any purpose, and especially not for receiving club members' discount.

A person who has been rejected as a candidate for membership or expelled under the rules of the Club will not be allowed club membership benefits.
