Distribution and use of the membership card

• Each member will be issued a membership card. Group members will be issued with relevant number of membership cards according to the category they have applied for.

No requests to extend the length of a membership’s validity by aggregating the terms of the various membership cards will be entertained.
• Members must present a valid membership card in order to take part in activities organised by the Association or to use the Association’s facilities.
• Apart from those holding Life or Supporting memberships, all members must apply for an additional membership card and pay a surcharge if the original physical card is lost or destroyed. Their existing membership term and expiry date will remain unchanged.
• Apart from Group Members, a membership card is only valid when it is held by that member. The card itself cannot be transferred or assigned to any other person.
• The Association reserves the right to request that members present their membership cards for verification by the Association staff whenever it is deemed to be necessary or appropriate.
