If you carry out any activity which we consider is offensive or a danger to you or any other person, we reserve the right to require you to leave the Club immediately.
- Your membership and subsequent access to the club is for your personal use only. You may not pass out your key tag to non-members for access to the club or to use the courts. Failure to comply with this rule may result in penalties enforced, including the forfeit and cancellation of your membership and grading with Pirates Squash Club, which is at the Committee’s full discretion and their decision will be final. No membership refund will be given.
- All Membership types (except “Adult FullPlus” memberships) will be required to have two members playing in order to book a court and for lights to operate. No member may use another member’s name to book a court without that member playing on court at that time. Failure to follow this rule may lead to suspension or removal of that member from the club, with no reimbursement of fees, at the Committee’s sole discretion.
- You are welcome to invite another person (a guest) to play at the club with you, but additional Court Fees do apply (except for “Adult FullPlus” memberships). This applies to general members of the public, friends, family members, and members of other clubs. You are solely responsible for that guest and their actions while on the club premises.
- All members are responsible for maintaining their profile in iSquash, including email address and contact phone numbers.

- All Junior members under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times while on club premises.
- Any membership not paid on time will be suspended for a period of up to three months, unless fees are paid up to date. This will keep the member on the Pirates Squash Club membership list, but they will be unable to access the club with their key tag or book a court.
