| CLUB & MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION | ||
Attend your very first day event at the member price by mentioning this offer! Try out S.A.C. - and start having fun!
(weekend trips excluded)
The Suburban Adventure Club is a professionally run social events club for both singles and couples. S.A.C.'s members range from their late 30s through 40s, 50s and 60s. We pride ourselves on providing an extremely wide variety of professionally run activities in a friendly, fun, and relaxed atmosphere. We are a club filled with people looking for friends, fun and adventure! We run a minimum of 10 events per month.
We invite you to attend three to four events as a paying guest to come "try out" the Club before joining. We encourage you to do this to get a good, well-rounded feel for what S.A.C. is all about. You'll meet different people at each event, as well as see familiar faces and have an opportunity to ask questions. This will help to determine if the Club is a "good fit" for you! We want you to be happy!
To get involved: 1) Select 3 or four events you'd like to participate in; 2) Call to make your reservations and confirm availability; 3) Send payments due; 4) Show up & have fun!
To become a member of S.A.C. After trying out some events, call or e-mail to request a Membership Application form. Upon receiving it, complete it and return it to S.A.C. with your check for $120 (the full annual fee) or join for six months at a time at $70. (A membership reminder notice will be sent when your membership comes due.)
You are considered a member when your check and application have been received and processed.
NOTE: We do ask you to attend several events before joining so both you and we know it's a "good fit!"
To attend as a guest: You do not need to be a member (or know a member) to attend events! You are a "guest" of the club. There is a "guest fee" on top of the member price. Full payment must be received for each event before you are registered for the event, or you must "guarantee" your reservation with a credit card number, which allows you to pay cash or check the day of the event. Some events, such as ticketed events (theater shows, concerts, etc.) and weekend trips do require full payment in advance.
Referral bonuses: For each person you refer who joins the club for a full year, you will receive THREE MONTHS FREE MEMBERSHIP which will be applied toward your next year's membership.
RESERVATION, CANCELLATION & PAYMENT POLICIES
REGARDING CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS
DEPOSITS on all overnight trips are refundable up until the Balance Due deadline, less a 10% total cost of trip cancellation fee - with a $10 minimum.
Payments on all events, including trips, are nonrefundable after the Balance Due deadline. After that time any monies paid are forfeited.
If signing up for an event after the Balance Due deadline, full payment will be due immediately and is nonrefundable.
If cancelling after the Balance Due deadline, and someone is found to take your place, after the event has sold out, refunds will be made, less a $5 service charge on day events, and less a 10% total cost of trip cancellation fee for overnight trips, with a $10 minimum charge.
"NO SHOW" for an event
with a confirmed reservation:
If you have made a reservation for an event and you do not show up, refunds will not be given.
If you had confirmed/guaranteed your reservation but had not yet paid for the event, payment will still be due.
BOUNCED CHECK POLICY:
All checks returned by the bank are subject to a $15 processing fee to cover bank processing charges. You may also lose any reservations that were to be made with that check.
MAKE ALL PAYMENTS TO:
Suburban Adventure Club
MAIL TO:
P.O. Box 862, Reading, MA 01867
Pay for all events with one check and mail with reservation form.
S.A.C. now accepts Master Card, VISA, and Discover. Whether by mail, e-mail or phone, be sure to provide all information necessary, including the Card Code (last three digits in the signature strip on the back of the card) and your billing address (most likely your home address) including zip code.
BY E-MAIL: You may e-mail your information if you feel comfortable with this option.
BY MAIL: Fill out the Authorization Form on the Reservation Form in the newsletter.
BY PHONE: All information may be left on our voice mail, which is secure - or leave a message and we'll call you back to take your information live.
If all information is not completed, the charge will not be made to your card, and reservations for events will not be held.
NOTE: If you cancel on a charged event any portion of your payment that is refundable can either be held in an Adventure Account to apply toward future events, membership or sportswear, OR can be refunded by check from S.A.C.
All cancellation policies will be applied. (See information on Adventure Accounts and our Cancellation Policy on this page.)
All payments for events will be due on specified days throughout the month. A space will be held upon request, pending payment, until the payment due deadline (or until the event sells out, whichever comes first). If payment is not received by the deadline, the space will be released. All cancellation policies will apply.
When you sign up for an event, you must be prepared for the fact that it may be switched to the "rain" date because of inclement weather. Please keep both dates on your calendar free.
When a rain date is listed in the newsletter for an event, and the event must be moved to that date, refunds will not be given if you cannot make the event, unless you are able to find someone to fill your space. If you've signed up for an event which falls on the rain date of another event, refunds will be given for whichever event you decide to cancel out of, but not for both.
The purpose of the Adventure Account is to allow members to put a deposit on account for future events. You decide the frequency and the amount to prepay. Then you can sign up for events three ways by:
1) e-mail: MegBond@SuburbanAdventureClub.com
2) leaving a message on SAC voice mail
3) using the monthly Reservation Form
This way you avoid having to rush that check into the mail or miss a ticket deadline. (Sorry, it's not an interest bearing account) Make a deposit into your new Adventure Account by writing the dollar total on the special line at the bottom of the Reservation Form, and include the payment in your check for upcoming events, or pay by credit card.
