METHOD OF PAYMENT

EDSC's only method of payment to the Club is via Direct Debit and GoCardless through our SwimClub Manager portal. The advantages of this method are as follows:

• It is the cheapest method of electronic payment for both members and the Club;
• Subscription payments are monthly so there is better cash flow for both members and the Club;
• Less admin for members and our volunteers as all payments are taken automatically and acknowledged against the relevant member;
• A Direct Debit mandate takes 2 minutes to complete;
• That same mandate can remain active throughout a swimmer's time at the Club, even if your bank account changes;
• Much greater protection for members with the Direct Debit Guarantee.

Members are therefore expected to make all payments to the Club using Direct Debit.

DIRECT DEBIT PAYMENTS

• Upon joining all members are required to set up a Direct Debit mandate as per our instructions;
• An active mandate must be maintained throughout your membership;
• Subscription invoices are issued on the 21st of the month and are due on the 28th with payment automatically being taken on or around the 4th*;
• Cancelling a mandate associated with a member will result in an assumption that they no longer wish to be a member of the club.

LEAVING THE CLUB

If you or your child no longer wishes to be a member of the Club, we ask that you complete the following 3 steps:

1. Return all Club property to the Club (typically trophies that are presented annually);
2. With 1 month's notice, for Competitive Swimmers, contact either the Development Coach or Head Coach, or in the case of Masters/Seniors or Artistic Swimming, the relevant discipline manager;
3. If you have other members that wish to continue at EDSC DO NOT CANCEL your Direct Debit (if you give 1 month's notice money will not be taken for the member that wishes to leave).
