Annual Subscriptions

With the re-development our ground at Eastham resulting in temporary homes for our senior teams at Vauxhalls Sports Club & mini, junior & ladies squad at Port Sunlight RFC on a Sunday Membership subscriptions become even more important to the financial well-being of the club.

We have no bar income this season and have rent to pay for the facilities at Vauxhalls & Port Sunlight. It is VITAL that ALL club members pay their membership subscriptions.

The club can only function and pay its way if the members support the club and pay their subscriptions, remember it is YOUR club.

The club would prefer members to pay their subscriptions by monthly direct debit as it gives the club an income stream all year round it also spreads the load for the member.

You can also pay in a lump sum either by direct debit, cash, cheque or by BACS transfer direct into the club NatWest account.

A direct debit form can be downloaded here. If you chose to pay by direct debit please either post to the Membership Secretary at 18 Greenbank Drive, Pensby, Wirral CH61 5UF or scan it and email it to: tonymcardle@sky.com

If you wish to pay by cheque please make payable to Anselmians RUFC and post to the membership Secretary.

If you wish to pay by BACS transfer the club’s bank details are NatWest account number: 48441295 Sort Code: 01 – 07 – 02 if you use this payment method please put your name & “subs” in the reference box so the club Treasurer will know who has paid and that it is “subs”.

Please inform myself as well so I can tick you off as paid.

YOU CAN ALSO PAY ONLINE
