Change of Category

A Student Member on completing his 24th birthday or is employed before completing the 24th birthday and has had a continuous period of not less than 10 years shall on making a fresh application in the prescribed form, become an Ordinary, Outstation or Associate Member as the case may be and shall be called upon to pay 1/4 (25%) of the Entrance Fee applicable to the defined category of membership as at the time of submitting the application.

Restrictions on Members Bringing Guests for Sectional Activities

We write to advise you that the restriction applicable whereby a member is permitted to bring in only two guests per month for all Sectional Activities (Swimming,Tennis etc.) is essentially to ensure that all our members will have the opportunity to use the facilities without any hindrance.

This rule has been in existence over time but sadly not enforced diligently for a variety of reasons.

Please also be advised that Membership at the SSC is an individual membership and does not have a category classification of “Family Membership”. As such, the rule applies to spouses & children too who are not members. We urge your immediate family members who are interested in using the Club's facilities to join as members as early as possible.
