Chesterbrook Swim and Tennis Club offers only one type of membership, a full membership. The Club maintains 550 full memberships. At the Board of Director's discretion the Club may offer summer use privileges to individuals or families who are on the waiting list for full membership; the Club is limited to offering summer use privileges to a maximum of 110 individuals or families who are on the waiting list.
Full Membership: The cost of a full membership includes: a $900 one-time initiation fee (that is not refundable when the membership is sold), a $680 one-time share purchase (refunded when the membership is sold), and annual dues described below. Full members retain their membership until they decide to sell. Full members are permitted to vote at all annual and special meetings, and can participate in the club's activities year round.
The annual dues for a full member for 2010 are $600 (1 or 2 members in the family) or $650 (3 or more members in the family). The annual dues for a family when one or more bondholders in the family are 65 years or older are reduced by 10%: $540 for a family of one or two and $585 for a family of three or more. Annual dues are non-refundable and must be paid by March 15th every year and as described in the bylaws, annual dues received after March 15th are assessed a 25% penalty.
Please note that the membership family includes all members in the household, including parents, minor children, adult children under 25 who are full time students or who normally reside in the household, grandparents living in the household, and child care providers currently employees by the household and caring for a child. Please note that all individuals that fall into these categories are counted in the membership family, regardless of whether they use the Club facilities.
Summer Use Privileges for Individuals/Families on the Waiting List: The Club is currently offering summer use privileges to 110 individuals or families that are on the waiting list for membership. The summer use privilege dues for those individuals/families who are offered such privileges for 2010 are $925, regardless of the size of the family. Summer use privileges include the use of the facility during the time period when the swimming pool facilities are open, this is usually mid-May through Labor Day, although the period may be extended or shortened as dictated by the weather. Summer privileges will always be offered from at least Memorial Day through Labor Day. Individuals or families on the waiting list that are offered summer use privileges are welcome to participate in all teams and programs; they may not, however, vote or participate in annual of special membership meetings.
As full memberships become available, the Membership Coordinator may offer a full membership to an individual/family who is on the waiting list and who has been offered summer use privileges on a first come, first serve basis that is determined by the date/time of application (see below). An individual or family who is offered full membership must either accept or turn down such an offer. If the individual or family accepts the offer, the individual or family becomes a full member upon payment of the full membership dues specified above (the summer use privileges dues are applied in full towards the full membership dues if the offer is extended during the period when the swimming pool facilities are open). If the individual or family turns down a full membership offer, the individual/family is removed from the waiting list and summer use privileges are immediately terminated. In this situation there will be no refund of summer use privilege dues. Any Waiting List Member who turns down an offer of Full Membership and who is removed from the waiting list may reapply for membership the following year. An individual or family who turns downs an offer of Full Membership when offered for a second time shall be ineligible to apply for further membership in the club.
Invoices and Payment Due Date: Current full members and individuals/families that are being offered summer use privileges will receive an invoice in February, 2010. Full members must pay the invoiced amount by March 15th to avoid a penalty. Individuals/families who are on the waiting list and who are offered summer use privileges must pay the invoiced amount by March 15th or the individual/family is removed from the waiting list and no summer use privileges will be offered.
Application Date and Process: The sign up date for people interested in joining Chesterbrook is January 9, 2010, at 12:00 noon. An application will be available from the webpage www.chesterbrookclub.com. Complete the application process and press 'submit'. The applications are date and time stamped, and the Membership Coordinator will contact people in the order of application submission to inform them of an offer of full membership or their place on the waiting list. Phone calls and e-mails are not accepted for application purposes. Again, Chesterbrook is limited to offering summer use privileges to the first 110 individuals or families who apply and are put on the waiting list. For individuals/families who are on the waiting list but who are not offered summer use privileges, the waiting list is not retained for the following year. Applicants who were not offered summer use privileges must reapply the following January. Please note that memberships are only available to individuals or families who reside in Virginia
