MEMBERS CONDUCT & RESPONSIBILITY All Members are responsible for the dress standards and behaviour of their guests. Failure to adhere to this policy may find the introducing Member being questioned by the full Committee of the Club with cancellation of Membership being enforced in the most extreme cases. A Member must carry their Membership Card at all times in the Club. Members arriving without their Membership card, but with suitable identification, may be issued with a "Temporary Card" for that day only. The “Temporary Card” will only be issued from the main office with no fee incurred in the first instance, but on subsequent occasions a payment of $10.00 will be required. "Temporary Cards" may also be issued; free of charge, if a Member is found to have a faulty card (magnetic strip). Present the faulty card at the office and a replacement will be ordered. Individual Members receive a membership card issued in their name. Under no circumstances may an Individual Members Card be transferred, handed on and/or used by any other person other than the Member whose name appears on the card. Passing on a Membership Card for the admission of a Non Member is a serious breach of Club's License requirements and rules, and offenders will incur severe penalties. Club rules provide that specimen signatures must be provided on request. Members are urged to sign their cards as soon as received. Members are requested to show consideration to others by limiting movement whilst a match is in progress particularly during a cricket over. Standing or sitting in aisles or stairways is definitely not permitted. If Members desire to listen to a radio, it must be used with an earpiece so that the noise will not be offensive or intrusive to other members or distract players. Members using radios are also requested not to locate themselves near a television monitor as interference from the radio can be caused. CLUB RULES & POLICIES CLUB DRESS REGULATIONS A high standard of smart casual clothing is required for both ladies & gentlemen within the Club and children should dress to a similar standard.

MOBILE PHONES - RULES FOR USE IN & OUT OF THE CLUB Mobile Phones are to be programmed to “silent” in The Wisden Club Lounge, Sir Donald Bradman Room, and in the Members Reserved tiered seating area in front of the Club.

GAME DAY RULES & POLICIES Club Entry on match days is by reserved pre-paid ticket only. Members must present their member card and guests must be signed-in. Entry to the Club is subject to strict dress regulations. Entry will be denied without refund to anyone not adhering to the QCC’s dress regulations. GAME DAY SEATING The majority of Members Reserved Seating is accessed through the glass doors situated on the southern side of the “Openers Bar” in the Members Lounge. To assist us in accommodating the growing demand for seats the Club may secure a block of seats above the Club. This area does not have direct access to the Club and is not serviced by the Club. However, these seats offer an excellent viewing position. Members with seats in the upper-tiered area are provided access by Club security through the egress gates immediately adjacent to the Club’s entrance. Seating Within the Club: A limited number of seats is provided in the Main Viewing Lounge within the Club. The reservation of seats inside the Club for friends and/or guests who have not yet arrived is not permitted. Attendants are authorised to remove any items used to "reserve" space for people who are not present. Items removed will be recoverable from lost property. The spirit of fair play is essential as amenities are to be shared for the benefit of all members. SEAT ALLOCATION

Refund & Cancellation Policies In the event of disruption due to wet weather the Clubs’ ticket refund policy on reserved seats is consistent with the guidelines as set by the Queensland Cricket Association and the Australian Cricket Board. In order for your Club to run efficiently and profitably we are forced to put in place a Cancellation Policy for Seat Bookings. The Cancellation Policy is as follows: -
Pre-booked game day dining (usually a three course set menu) is available for all international cricket matches and AFL games. Please book early if you would like to dine formally in the Club, as game day dining is always a sell-out. Our regular café and buffet will cater for those looking for a more casual dining option. Dining Cancellation Policy:
**** Please Note **** “Working days” are Monday to Friday, as we require notice to contact food suppliers, which is not always possible over a weekend or public holiday. DOMESTIC CRICKET: DOMESTIC ONE DAY & SHEFFIELD SHIELD MATCHES
Visitors and guests are welcome in the Club. However, access is governed by certain rules. Visitor access to the Club is treated in two different situations - "Match Days" and "Non-Match Days" During normal Club opening hours and on match-days visitors and guests must be signed in and accompanied by a Member. Guests must hold a valid seat ticket on major match-days. Match Days: Guest tickets may be available for AFL and International Cricket Matches. However, the number of guest tickets available is totally dependant on Member demand. The Club manages a “Guest Waitlist” for each of the international cricket and football matches throughout the year. All Members are advised, through the regular newsletter, when tickets will go on sale for each match throughout each season. The Club will fulfil Members requirements as a priority and, subject to availability, will issue guest tickets prior to each match. The Club endeavours whenever possible to seat Guests next to the nominated Member, again subject to availability. Members may bring an unlimited number of guests to the Club for local cricket matches (Sheffield Shield and Ford Ranger). Notice of intention to bring a large group to the Club is appreciated. Non-Match Days: On non-match days an unlimited number of visitors and guests may attend the Club during normal opening hours in the company of a Member. Visitors' names must be entered into the guest registration book and be “signed in” by the Member. Visitors and guests are required to respect and abide by Club policies regarding dress standards and suitable behaviour within the Club. Members remain responsible for the dress and behaviour standards of visitors and guests whilst within the Club. Visitors and guests may arrange and attend private functions within the Club without the need to be signed in by a member. In this instance gaming facilities are not available. MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL
Membership Fees are paid twelve (12) months in advance to the 31st March each year. A Membership renewal noticeis mailed to each Member one (1) month prior to Membership Fees becoming due, which will coincide with the expiration of the Members Card i.e. A Member Card shows “Valid to dd/mm/yy” therefore the Club requests renewal payment prior to that date. The renewal period takes place at a similar time to the commencement of the AFL season. Season passes for AFL WILL NOT be issued until membership is renewed and membership fees are paid, regardless of whether the new membership year has commenced or not. Members who are not financial will not be allowed access to the club on a match day unless both membership fees and the match day ticket price are paid. The second and final Notice will be sent in regard to all unpaid Membership Fees no later than two (2) months after the due date. Any Member whose Membership Fee is unpaid three (3) months after the due date (whether he/she shall have received such notice or not) in any year will cease to be a member and his/her name will be deleted from the list of active Members. PROVIDED HOWEVER the Executive Committee shall have the power of extending the time of payment in its discretion for good and sufficient cause. Such cause must be stated in writing and directed to the Executive Committee prior to the three (3) month time period elapsing. After the three (3) month time allowance those Members who have not made their renewal payment or tendered written explanation to the Executive Committee and wish to rejoin may do so without incurring the $220 Joining Fee, however, this must take place within a period of 18 months. After 18 months Members wishing to rejoin are required to lodge a New Application Form and pay the $220.00 Joining Fee. The Queensland Cricketers’ Club is not responsible for Membership information and cards being sent to the wrong address. Please add the Queensland Cricketers’ Club to your list of "Change of Address Notifications" for both business and home, including phone and facsimile details. The Queensland Cricketers’ Club will not be held responsible for charges to a lost or stolen membership card. The Club MUST be notified immediately a membership card is lost or stolen and a replacement card will be forwarded to the Member. REMEMBER - We cannot protect you unless you advise us. On advice from the Member, the Club suspends the ability to charge to that Card. Club Credit will not be opened again until the Member advises the Club that the new card has been received and provides photo ID to the Club. |
