Member’s Information

Cheltenham Croquet Club needs to hold information on members for administration and communication purposes. This is held securely on a commercial database hosted on the web and members have access to their record for verification purposes. The Membership Secretary, Treasurer, Secretary, Tournament Secretary and Committee Chair have access to the details of all members. The Membership Secretary also processes the data locally, for example to create and publish telephone lists. The data held includes names, date of birth (if under 18), addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, croquet handicaps and other information such as communication preferences. We regularly circulate membership lists consisting of names, handicaps and telephone numbers to all members and display a list in the clubhouse. You may ask for your details to be withheld from any or all of these lists. By applying for membership you undertake to keep this information safely and use it only for croquet or Club purposes.
