LBLBC Membership

---

If you're interested in joining Laguna Beach Lawn Bowling club but would like to try an introductory lesson before you decide, you can contact the club and a lesson will be arranged with you. Typically this occurs on Saturdays and Sundays at 9:00am because that's when coaches are available, but could be scheduled for a weekday typically after noon.

If you find you do want to join, then to get a new member prorated rate, you'd need to come down to the club, fill out your contact information, and pay (with cash, check, or credit cards). After that, we'll order your name badge which will arrive at the club in less than 2 weeks. After 3 initial member lessons, we'll give you a key to the club to use at your leisure.

• access to the greens, clubhouse and equipment 
• key to the facilities
• participation in club activities, division leagues and tournaments 
• opportunity to play at other clubs all over the world (for the local member fee) 

 New member dues are kind of pro-rated quarterly from the yearly $195.00 dues (see fee schedule below). * Includes Southwest Division and Bowls USA dues.

If you join before the 20th of a month, your membership will commence the 1st day of that month. If you join after the 20th of the month, your membership will commence on the 1st day of the following month. 

In addition to member dues is an initiation fee of $50 which covers your name badge and club key.

Note: If you're a new member and already a primary member of another club, if you pay prorated dues, you cannot also subtract the standard $30 discount for being a member of another club. If you pay full dues, you can. No double discounts...

If you're already a member, these fees are applicable throughout the year. No prorated fees.

1. One year membership renewal: $195.00
   
   
2. Secondary club membership renewal: $195.00 - $30.00 = $165.00
   
   To pay a secondary club price ($30.00 discount), you must be a full member of another club (primary). Please indicate the primary club name and phone number with your check or in the PayPal information field for verification purposes.
   
   Spouses have to pay full price unless one of them is a full member at another club!
   
   
   
3. If past members choose to renew in Oct, Nov, or Dec of the current year, they must pay the prorated new member rate for the current year and full price for the following year. In other words, renewing members pay the same price as new members minus the initiation fee. (Note: Secondary club discount is considered only on the full membership fee.)

1. For both full and prorated fees, you can pay at the club (after your initial lesson) by check, credit card, or your PayPal account.
   
   
2. For full yearly renewals:  The club can send you an invoice where you can pay by credit card or from your PayPal account.
   
   Or, you can pay at the club by cash, check, or credit card.  If nobody is in the office, simply put your cash or check into an envelope with 2020 Membership Renewal and your name written on it, seal it, and drop it into the mail slot at the club.
   
   If paying by check, make it out out to LBLBC and indicate fee type (primary or secondary club) on the check.
