As you know for the 2020/21 season we are moving our senior membership data base and subscriptions across to the RFUs national system, known as GMS.
The RFU system offers us a secure and cost-effective place for members, players and the club to manage personal data, subscriptions and importantly communications.
To help us achieve a successful move we will soon be contacting members individually to explain what you need to transfer your membership to GMS.
The subscription fee for 2020/21 is unchanged. It is £75.00 for patron members, however we have noted that some members have not updated old standing orders from the old subscription fee of £50.
We understand that some members will need help navigating the GMS system and some members may not have access to a computer. We have therefore put in place a help desk. All you need do is telephone (Tim Cunliffe 07973906489) or email Subscriptions@worcesterrugbyclub.co.uk and we will arrange help.
We will also aim to be at the club at the following times until the end of October, check via the email address above if this the sole purpose of your visit. All you need do is turn up and speak to us – from a safe distance of course.

Can I trust direct debit, will you change the amount without telling me?
Firstly, any increase in WRFC membership subscriptions will have to be proposed by the committee and approved at an AGM. We cannot increase membership fees without consulting with our membership.
Secondly you are protected by the direct debit guarantee, further information is available from https://www.directdebit.co.uk/DirectDebitExplained/pages/directdebitguarantee.aspx a summary is below:
Direct Debit Guarantee - Your rights
Organisations using the Direct Debit Scheme go through a careful vetting process before they're authorised, and are closely monitored by the banking industry. The efficiency and security of Direct Debit is monitored and protected by your own bank or building society.
The Direct Debit Guarantee applies to all Direct Debits. It protects you in the rare event that there is an error in the payment of your Direct Debit, for instance if a payment is taken on the incorrect date, or the wrong amount is collected. It cannot be used to address contractual disputes between you and the billing organisation.
The Guarantee is offered by all banks and building societies that accept instructions to pay Direct Debits
If there are any changes to the amount, date or frequency of your Direct Debit the organisation will notify you (normally 10 working days) in advance of your account being debited or as otherwise agreed. If you request the organisation to collect a payment, confirmation of the amount and date will be given to you at the time of the request
If an error is made in the payment of your Direct Debit, by the organisation or your bank or building society, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society
If you receive a refund you are not entitled to, you must pay it back when the organisation asks you to
You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time by simply contacting your bank or building society. Written confirmation may be required. Please also notify the organisation.
