Cancellation, refunds, and missed payments
Members can cancel a membership at any time by contacting [email protected]. The cancellation will come into effect from the following month.
Please note that members will not be refunded for missed training sessions due to circumstances beyond our control e.g. venue cancellations. When possible we will always arrange an alternative. Long term absences (minimum a continuous month) due to injuries or other circumstances will be treated on an individual basis and as exceptional. Please speak to a GD Board Member if applicable.
Members failing to pay their fees on time risk suspension from the club. A notification will be given if the card registered for payment has insufficient funds or has expired. It is the member’s responsibility to notify the club and find an alternative solution, should this happen.
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Fanny Royer.
International Transfer Certificate (ITC)
It is a requirement for all foreign national players, regardless of age, previous playing experience, or league, to have an International Transfer Certificate. British Nationals returning from abroad to play in England will also require an ITC. An ITC is required before a player can be affiliated to an EHA League.
The ITC Requests are managed via the EHA Membership Portal. More details on this will follow after completed registration. Please note that below fees may be subject to change. Bank Details of Federation and EHF will be forwarded to you from the EHA upon confirmation of Fees Payable*.
