Cranston Chess Club Membership

Club membership is $15/year, $10/year for youth(<19) and seniors(55+).  Club membership is not required to play in our tournaments.  However, members have reduced entry fees ($3/game for members, vs. $5/game for non-members).

At our club meeting this year it was decided to transition all memberships to the same expiration date, (4/30/2014).  This should simplify the membership process.  Eventually, everyone will be on the "April to April" schedule.

All new memberships and renewal of expired memberships will have the new expiration date.  Current club members will only be required to pay a prorated membership fee for the time between when their membership expires and the new date.

A "half-dues" option will be available to members wishing to join/renew between November and April.
