7. A membership will entitle the member to one entry into each draw throughout the calendar year. If a member pays the R 300 membership fee after the January and/or February draw has taken place, the member will have two entries in the following draw/s to catch up on draws missed. A member who elects to pay by monthly debit order and joins after the January draw has taken place will need to make an initial payment of R 60 (R 30 x two months) to cover the first draw and will correspondingly get two entries into the February draw.
8. A member whose monthly debit order is dishonoured will forfeit the right to be entered in that month’s draw and will need to make a “catch-up” penalty payment (of R 30) in order to be reinstated for the next month’s draw. If the reinstatement penalty is not paid; or the debit order is dishonoured for a second successive month, the membership will be terminated with immediate effect and no reinstatement will be allowed.
