SEASONAL YOUTH MEMBERSHIP PROCEDURE
Any member in good standing may sponsor a child (under 21), not residing with them, to use the club facilities and participate in club children’s programs for a single season. This membership must be reapplied for each season, and the number of such memberships is at the discretion of the board. There is no initiation fee for this membership.
Seasonal Youth members are subject to the rules and regulations of the Eel River Beach Club. The sponsoring members and the youth’s parents are jointly responsible for the Seasonal Youth member. However the sponsoring members fulfill the role of parent when the youth is in attendance at the club. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring member to ensure that the Seasonal Youth understands Club policy and operation.
Seasonal Youth Membership is intended to encourage participation by older children in tennis and swimming, to provide a way for non-member friends to participate in the club beyond the guest policy, and to address unique family situations.
To sponsor a child, submit the Seasonal Youth Sponsor Form.
NEW MEMBER PROCEDURE
Adult members who have been members for at least two years may propose one new member each year.
To enter a new member on our waiting list:
-
- Two New Member Recommendation Forms must be completed (each new member must be sponsored by two current members).
-
- A Member Data Form for the proposed new member must be completed
- A $100, non-refundable* application fee must be mailed to: New Members ERBC P.O. Box 1706 Plymouth, MA 02362
Recommendations and data forms may be completed on-line, but application fee letters must be postmarked. Hand-delivered application fees or forms will not be accepted. Completed applications are kept in order upon receipt of completed application (two letters of recommendation, Member Data Form and $100 application fee).
Prospective members will be notified in late spring of their membership status. New members will receive all privileges associated with membership except they shall not be permitted to sponsor a new member for two years.
When a prospective new member is offered membership, he/she will be given the opportunity to defer the membership for a period of one year. When the prospective member is offered the membership for a second time, the prospective member must accept or decline. If membership is declined the prospective member must reapply in order to again be considered for membership.
Both sponsoring members are expected to attend a new member orientation and to introduce their sponsorees at the Opening Cocktail Party. Sponsoring members are also listed in the member handbook.
If you have any questions regarding the new member procedure, please contact the Treasurer.
*Application fee will be applied to first year’s dues upon acceptance. Fee is not refundable if the proposed member declines membership.
