Club FAQs
Payments
All payments must be made by bank transfer from a Bermuda bank account to:
Butterfield Bank – IWC Account:
2000 6060 9155 26100
If a bank transfer is not possible, please ask another member to assist or visit Butterfield Bank to make a cash deposit. Cash will only be accepted on the day of the event and must be pre-approved by the Treasurer.
Please use your member name as the payment reference. If your bank account name does not match your membership name, include both for clarity.
Yes. If you are helping another member make a payment, clearly indicate both your name and the member’s name in the transfer reference.
RSVPs, Cancellations, and No-Shows
RSVPs must be made by the specified deadline for each event. After this deadline, numbers are fixed, and you are obliged to pay for your reserved spot, whether or not you attend.
If you cannot attend after the RSVP deadline, you may offer your spot to another member. However, any financial arrangements must be made directly between you and that member.
Members who cancel a reservation after the designated deadline or do not attend remain financially responsible for the event. Charges must be settled within 30 days. Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination of membership as outlined in the Standing Rules.
Refunds
Yes. If you cancel before the RSVP deadline, you will not be charged and any advance payment will be refunded or credited.
No. Once numbers are confirmed, refunds are not available, unless the event is cancelled by the Club or in exceptional circumstances approved by the Board.
If the Club cancels an event, members will receive a full refund or credit toward another activity.
