Club Calcot is owned by Calcot Health & Leisure Ltd ("we” or "us” or the “Club”) and is located at Calcot, Near Tetbury, Glos. GL8 8YJ. In applying for membership, each Member accepts and agrees to be bound by these conditions and by any other rules or instructions of the Club issued (in our absolute discretion) from time to time.

1. Membership, Fees and Duration

Each person wishing to become a member (“Member”) of the Club shall complete our standard application form, pay the joining fee in force and shall become a Member only upon written approval of the Club.  We offer different types of membership and information on the rights and benefits for each membership type from time to time will be provided to you – you must indicate on your application form which type of membership you wish to apply for.   Membership is only available to adults over the age of 18.  Where a person applying to become a Member has previously been a Member he or she shall nonetheless be required to pay the joining fee when re-joining.

The Club is open only to Members and residents of Calcot & Spa and other persons at our discretion.

We reserve the right, acting reasonably, in our absolute discretion to decline any application for membership without giving any reason for so doing, and in such case any joining fee and subscription paid in advance will be refunded.

Membership and any associated rights and benefits are not transferable and are personal to you.

Each Member shall pay to the Club each month by direct debit a monthly membership fee (unless an alternative payment arrangement is agreed in writing by us), as stated in our standard price list at the commencement of membership and as may be varied with effect from 1st July annually or otherwise, in each case on not less than 3 months’ notice by us to you.  If you fail to make any payment or your direct debit is rejected, we reserve the right to charge you an administrative fee of £20 per occurrence to reflect the costs incurred by us in handling rejected payments and processing additional payments.

A Member’s membership shall continue in force (unless terminated by us earlier in accordance with these terms) for an indefinite period provided that a Member may terminate his or her membership at any time on giving us not less than 3 full calendar months’ written notice in advance, provided that the minimum membership term is 6 months from the start date of your membership.  Any notice given will be deemed to take effect from the 1st day of the following month (for example, if you give notice on 14th April, the notice will take effect from 1st May and your 3 months’ notice period will expire on 31st July).  You will be liable for the full membership payment during any notice period and should not cancel your direct debit.  We reserve the right to reclaim any unpaid fees from you if you fail to adhere to the required notice period.

We may terminate the membership without liability to the Member at any time for any reason giving you not less than 3 months’ notice.

Any Member who fails to comply with all these conditions, all the rules of the Club in force from time to time and the instructions of the Club’s management or in our reasonable opinion who conducts him or herself at the Club in an unbecoming manner or whose conduct does or might bring the Club into disrepute may in our absolute discretion have his or her membership immediately terminated on written notice from us. Any person whose membership is terminated in this way shall not be entitled to enter the Club’s premises as a guest of any Member or otherwise unless and until readmitted as a Member in accordance with these conditions.

We will endeavour to keep the Club’s facilities operating during our opening hours as published from time to time but Members acknowledge that such facilities and/or the Club may be shut from time to time (or subject to certain limitations or restrictions) on notice from the Club (acting reasonably), including for necessary cleaning, decorating, or repairs or for reasons beyond our control (such as damage to the facilities, unavailability of staff or by order of any public authority).   We reserve the right to occasionally close the Grain Store Café and Holistic studio for hosting social events or other private activities.  Additionally, the Huddle will be booked on occasions for private hire and therefore may not be available for general use.

Whilst we will endeavour to minimise disruption to Member’s use of the facilities and give advance notice of any closures we have no liability to Members in respect of the same.

2. Membership benefits, facilities and access

If Membership cards are not present you must check in with a member of staff.  You are responsible for ensuring that no one else uses your membership (including your membership card) and you must inform us immediately if you lose your membership card.  Membership/security access being given to another person may result in an immediate termination of your Membership.
