Club Debit Card:
The club is closing down the debit card system in the near future and in its place will be a self service eftpos system in which you will be able to print off a ticket using your eftpos card.
The two systems will run for a period of time for members to use up credit in their account. We will let the members know when to stop depositing money into the club’s account for their debit card.
