Family Membership

This is for members from the same family unit and covers:

  • Up to two adult members as defined previously with up to one Adult Playing Member
  • Up to four members of the same family unit who qualify for the Mini, Youth or Student memberships as defined previously.

Due to current restrictions with the IRFU online registration system, it is necessary to precisely define the packages to cover the specific type of family membership types. To avoid a requirement to define a very large number of family membership packages, we require that two adults be registered as part of any family membership. We appreciate that some households have just one adult, in which case we would ask you to complete the membership with a grandparent, aunt, uncle or other adult relative of the family.

So please consider:

  1. The number of Mini Memberships to be registered.
  2. The number of Youth Memberships to be registered.

Please then select the membership package that exactly reflects your needs. For example:

  • For 2 mini players, please select “Family Membership - 2 Adults 2 Minis”.
  • For 2 mini players and 1 youth player, please select “Family Membership - 2 Adults 2 Minis 1 Youth”.
  • For 1 mini player and 1 youth player, please select “Family Membership - 2 Adults 1 Mini 1 Youth”.
  • ….and so on

Due to the number of possible combinations, we have tried to define packages to reflect what will be required based on existing experience.

If you do not find a package to match your requirements, please contact us at membership@seapointrugby.com.

Where a member wishes to pay by standing order, please do the following:

  1. We expect most people will wish to pay monthly.
  2. Take the membership fee you wish to pay and divide it by 12 to get the monthly payment to the club.
  3. When setting up the standing order, please calculate the first payment based on the month in which it will be paid:
    1. Seapoint membership runs from June to May each year
    2. If you are starting to pay in June, please just set the initial payment up to be the monthly charge.
    3. For each month after that, the initial payment must be multiplied by the number of months after June. If starting in July, multiply the monthly payment by 2 to get the initial payment. If starting in August, multiply the monthly payment by 3 to get the initial payment and so on.
    4. For example:
      1. For an Adult membership starting in August:
        1. The monthly payment will be €17.50 (€210/12) per month.
        2. The initial payment will be €52.50 (€17.50 * 3).
      2. For a family membership starting in August:
        1. The monthly payment will be €23.33 (€280/12) per month.
        2. The initial payment will be €70.00 (€23.33 * 3).
    5. When the membership fee is changed at the AGM, you will be asked to change the monthly payment to reflect the new total membership fee.
    6. Please instruct your bank to set up the new standing order on your account to the credit of:
      Account Name: Seapoint Rugby  Number 1 Account
      IBAN:  IE55 BOFI 9011 1610 1708 47
      BIC:  BOFIIE2D
  4. When the standing order has been setup and for each subsequent year you are paying the standing order, please contact membership@seapointrugby.com who will send you a discount code to enable you to complete the online membership process at no extra cost.
