Change of Membership System

As per previous emails, next week the Ballarat Golf Club cuts over its membership system to the MiClub membership system, having cut-over to the MiClub golf system in September.

 This will bring several changes, the most important of which is a change to member accounts.

All Member Accounts Unavailable to Use - Monday 11 November

As we implement the cut-over ALL member accounts - House, Competition and Pro-Shop - will be unavailable for use on Monday the 11th of November.

Changes to Member Accounts

At its meeting last week the Board agreed to implement a more streamlined member accounts system offering a better service to members through increased spending options, and to implement this from cut-over to the MiClub Membership System.

Current Account Types

Currently each member has a Subscription, Competition, House and Pro-shop account, and we are sure that all are familiar with how these operate.  The previous Lifestyle Account moved to the points-based system under MiClub as previously advised

Following Cut-over Members Will Have 3 account types:

Subscription - where your current subscription balance will show

And 2 accounts for use in the Club:

Levy - where the house levy paid as part of your subscription will be displayed and will have the normal end of year expiry.

Club - which will combine the current competition and Pro-shop accounts and where any member top-up will be placed.

Levy and Club Account Use

There will no longer be restrictions on where the levy and Club accounts can be used within the Club for purchases of goods, these accounts may be used in the bar, bistro and pro-shop areas.

Note that Tatt Golf is in full support of these changes.

Cut-over - Transition to New Account Types Changes

The following will occur to members accounts for this transition:

Levy:

Any members House Levy that was paid as part of their subscription account that remains unused will transition into this account with the expiry date remaining at 31.12.24

Club:

Unused balances of house top-ups along with the current competition and pro-shop account balances will be transferred into this account type.  There is no expiry date.

 

Further information on the new membership system as it impacts members will be forthcoming.
