When to Pay:

The club allows members to pay their annual membership and caravan fees in two instalments, the first instalment on the 1st of October and the second on the 1st of February. This is to make it a little easier on the pocket for everyone. This option is only for club membership and caravan annual fee and not for any other of the annual fees payable. We respectfully ask that all club members pay their annual fees within 30 days of the due dates.

How to Pay:

To make it easier, we have a range of options for club members to pay their fees.

The following methods are available:

By electronic banking: Either as one off transactions or as monthly standing orders. If you wish to use this method you can get the club bank details from the office.
By credit or debit card: We can take payments over the phone or in person using credit and debit cards.
By cheque: Payable to Cotswold Gliding Club and posted in the envelopes provided into the office letterbox.
