Bar Discount
The bar discount is a privilege, not a right, that the club extends to our members on the assumption that their membership accounts are filled in correctly, and membership payment is up to date. If a members account is not correct and payment not made then the privilege will be withdrawn.


Membership Term

It appears there might be some confusion among the playing population about what the 'membership term' entails. Here's a clear breakdown of the concept and details that can be communicated to members:

Understanding the 'Membership Term'

1. Definition:
• The 'membership term' refers to the specific duration for which a member's subscription is valid. This is typically a fixed period, BSRFC membership term is seasonal, within a predefined timeframe.
2. Duration:
• Seasonal Membership: Covers the rugby season, often from September to May. In the case of BSRFC we extend our membership up to the AGM, normally held in July, unless you are a touch player, where it will last up until the start of the next season.
• Half-Season Membership: May be offered for late joiners, covering half of the regular season.
3. Start and End Dates:
• The 2024 rugby season membership is valid from September 1, 2024, to the AGM in 2025.
• Members will be able to purchase memberships from a date specified after the AGM, possibly as soon as August or as early as July 2025.
