How to Join

 

1. New applicants are required to complete the VLTBC Membership Application Form.
 
2. A non-refundable deposit cheque of $3,000.00 + HST is required with the application
    form.
 
3. All applicants will require four (4) Members in good standing to sign the application.
    Two (2) of these Members must be Playing Members and are called the *Proposer
    and Seconder on the application. The third and fourth Members can be Playing or
    Social Members. All four Members are required to sign the application.
 
    In addition to the required signatures as outlined above, there are two (2) Confidential
    Reference Forms that are to be completed; they are included in the application
    package.
   
    The *Proposer is required to complete one of the Confidential Reference Forms. The
    second (2nd)Confidential Reference Form must be completed by one of the remaining
    three (3) Members that signed the application.
 
4. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide the completed application form and
    the non-refundable deposit cheque to the Membership & Marketing Manager. If the
    application is not accepted for membership, the deposit will be refunded.
 
    The Confidential Reference Form is to be returned to the Membership and Marketing
    Manager in the enclosed envelope that is included in this package.  
 
5. Applicants applying for either Playing or Social membership are subject to the
    Membership Wait List if there is one at the time of application. The non-refundable
    deposit will be deposited to hold your position on the Membership Wait List. The
    applicant is not a member at this point and has no access to the Club during this wait
    period. Once a membership position comes available, the application will be presented
    to the Membership Committee for review.   
 
6. The Membership Committee will review the application and if accepted, the application
    will be presented to the Board of Directors at the next Board meeting, following which
    the name(s) of the applicant(s) will be posted for Member review for twenty (21) days
    as per Club Bylaws and Rules. 
 
7. If, after 21 days there are no objections, the application is considered “approved”. An
    orientation meeting will be setup with the Membership and Marketing Manager and the
    balance of the entrance fee of which the applicant applied for will be due at that
    time. After this orientation meeting, the applicant is considered a Social Member of the
   Club.                                                                                                                                                                 
 
8. Applicants that applied for a Playing Membership are then subject to the Playing Wait
    List; their name is placed on the Playing Wait List once the above application process
    is complete and the Playing entrance fee has been paid in full to the Club, or payment
    plan arrangements have been made.  
 
     Members on the Playing Wait List are required to pay dues as a Social Member during this time and
    have access to Club facilities available to Social members as outlined in the Club Bylaws and
    Rules. Limited playing privileges (ie tennis, badminton and squash) are granted during this wait time
    as per the Playing Wait List Policy included in the application package.
 
9. Placement on the Playing Wait List does not guarantee a Playing position will come available at any
    particular time. The Club takes no responsibility for the length of time an applicant may spend on any
    wait list. Any estimates provided are based exclusively on the past movement of applications and is
    non-binding as the Club cannot predict the future movement of the membership.
