Members attending the recent AGM heard that the Club will be introducing a new Loyalty & Membership card for this coming season.

The new membership card, similar to the Oyster Card, will be issued once and replaces the annual cards previously issued.

It works like other loyalty cards and will offer all members a 10% discount at the bar. Simply add funds to the electronic purse and start saving money. The Club will preload your cards with £20 for Gold and Silver memberships, £10 for all other memberships. To activate your cards you will need to load the cards with a matched contribution before 30th September.

Membership categories have been rationalised for this season; HOP-IT and Country memberships have been replaced or incorporated into other membership categories. Prices will be frozen for 2 years.
Significant new benefits are as follows:

- Gold has a price reduction, and offers guaranteed 2 international tickets, as well as free hire of new Clubhouse (ex food/drinks)

- Silver now offers 5 pre-match lunch tickets

- Bronze (HRFC Season Ticket) now offers match day parking

- Club now offers International Ticket Allocation and two Hawks home match tickets

All Adult playing memberships now includes a season ticket and 2 HOP-IT lunch tickets

2016-17 membership categories and prices are as follows:

Gold £500
Silver £300
Bronze (Season Ticket) £200
Club £100
Adult Playing Membership (Male and Female players) £160
Family Membership + 1 Child - £160
Family Membership + 2 Children - £260
Family Membership + 3 Children - £350
Family Membership + 4 Children - £400
Student/Colt - £110

We plan to offer a range of incentives for members who may consider upgrading their membership, as well as for members introducing new faces to the Club.

We also will have a new Club Website http://www.henleyrugbyclub.co.uk/

As well as offering all the usual news, views, and information you need, there will be an all new membership section with secure login that will allow members to easily manage their membership details and buy annual memberships. You will also be able to top up your electronic purse for your loyalty card on-line.

On-line payments will be simplified by introducing a checkout facility similar to major online retailers, and as used in the Club shop. All major credit and debit cards are welcome.

The membership database is being extensively enhanced, and to ensure all membership details held on-line are correct, we will be asking all members to re input their details when they renew this season through the new on-line forms. This will only take a minute or so and will benefit the Club enormously.

The new website will be live for membership renewals on the 1st June, with cards being issued in plenty of time for the new season and the reopening of the refurbished clubhouse.

We request that members use the new Website for renewing their memberships as this greatly reduces the administration; renewals and payments, however, can still be made through the office by Cash, Cheque and Credit Card.

Look out for further updates in the weeks ahead, meanwhile we wish to thank you for being a valued member of Henley Rugby Club, and to bear with us as we introduce what is quite an exciting new membership experience.

We look forward to your renewed membership for what will be a very important and exciting season.
