Casual Tag - Pay to Play
For those who play irregularly, a pay to play system is available.
Individuals purchase a key tag that gives access to the club and the
courts; the tag is active for 12 months from date of joining.
Each use of the tag incurs a charge of $8 which should be left in the
deposit box in the envelopes provided at the desk. If the casual
club member plays a non club member the visitor provisions of the club
rules apply and a further charge of $8 applies. The tag expires
after 12 months from initial date of issue unless a further fee for casual
membership is paid. Casual Pay to Play members will never be given
the “Practice” facility on their key tag.
Dual Club
This membership option applies to individuals who belong to another Club
but also wish to play squash at the Mana Club. The playing rights
for Dual membership are the same as for Senior/Young

with the exception that Dual members cannot play external tournaments,
interclub or in local club championships for Mana Squash Club.
Corporate
Corporate membership is available to companies/organizations that provide
recreational benefits to their employees. The rights of Corporate
memberships will be negotiated on a case by case basis; for more details
prospective corporate members should contact the Membership Secretary.
Corporate memberships will never be granted “Practice” or “Visitor”
rights.
Subscription Levies
Unless otherwise stated (eg. 3 or 6 month memberships) subscriptions are
for 12 months from the date of joining and are subject to change without
prior notification.
Subscription renewal notices are normally mailed 30 days prior to
subscription expiry. Payment of the subscription is actioned on the
Hawkeye 700 system and the key tag is then automatically renewed for the
new subscription year/period.
Hawkeye 700 automatically turns off key tag access 30 days after
subscription expiry. At that point reminder notices will be sent out
– subsequent renewals incur a 10% additional late payment charge in
accordance with normal business practice.
New members are required to pay a refundable deposit for the key tag.
A refund is only given if the tag is returned within 3 months of a
member resigning or non-renewal of membership.
