Discounts

Newport Residents: receive a 25% discount on their membership for their first 3 years of membership

50% discount: A person who is new to croquet receives a 50% discount for their first 12 months of membership, payments can be made month or quarterly to the end of the current calendar year, and in the following year if more than 6 months of the discount is left. Someone ‘new to croquet’ isn’t moving from another club, doesn’t have a croquet handicap and isn’t a member of ‘Croquet England’.

We’re sorry but discounts cannot be combined, new to croquet Newport residents will receive the 50% discount in their first year of membership.

Full details of the application of the 50% discount can be found below.

Other Information:

Evening and weekend members can play at other times but will need to pay the green fee, currently £10 per day.

Members can bring up to 3 guests to the club at a time with each paying green fees of £10 per day.

50% discount information

Summary:

New members who already play croquet (they have a handicap, are a Croquet England member, are moving from or already play at another croquet club) pay the current full fee for their membership type pro-rataed to the end of the current year. 

New to croquet members (who do not have a handicap, are not a Croquet England member, and are not moving from or are a member at another croquet club) receive a 50% discount for their first 12 months membership, payments can be staged to the end of the current calendar year, and in the following year if more than 6 months of the discount is left. The 2nd year membership fee is individually calculated taking into account the remaining 50% discount period.

Full detail:

Pro-rata membership fees are stated to new members based on them starting on the first day of the following month. If they pay that figure (even if it is after that date) the membership starts from that date.

If a new member qualifies for both the 50% discount and the ‘Newport Resident’ discount, a 50% discount is applied to the first 12 months of membership, the discounts cannot be combined.

We recognise that new members fall into 2 different categories and are treated differently:

1. Previous Croquet Players – anyone with a CE membership, a recent handicap, recent members of other croquet clubs.
2. Do not receive a discount on joining.
3. Membership fee is pro-rata’d based on calendar year.
4. Members joining from 1^st November or 1^st December may be asked to pay for 13 or 14 months to reduce admin burden.
   
   
5. New to Croquet players – anyone that has not played before or recently, does not have a handicap, is not a member of the CE, is not a member of, or recently left another croquet club.
6. 50% discount offered for first 12-months of membership.
7. Payment to the end of the current year offered in stages (5/4/3/2/1 months as appropriate)
8. Fee for 2^nd year of membership calculated to take into account left over 50% discount period from first year.
9. If membership was less than 6 months in the first year then staged payments offered in 2^nd year at 3 or 6 month intervals or pay in full.
10. Staged payments only allow play for the period paid for in advance.
11. Members joining from 1^st December may be asked to pay to for 4 months to the end of March the following year to reduce admin burden.
    
    
12. Other notes
13. Staged payments for full price members (ie existing members or new members that are CA members, have handicaps etc) to be agreed on a case-by-case basis, it is not offered automatically.
14. Members paying a full membership fee via staged payments are expected to be members for the entire year, a grace period (case-by-case) to be allowed if a payment is late before access to the club is removed.
15. Members who abuse the offer of staged payments will not be offered it again.
16. Membership fees are annual, there is no summer only membership.
