CEO Steven Trigg's Christmas message:

“On behalf of everyone at the Club, I wish all our members and supporters a restful and safe Christmas, and of course a happy and prosperous new year.

"It’s been a very busy and demanding year at our Club, and so that rest is much needed. But it’s also really obvious that everyone’s already looking forward to next year, and to next season - with renewed optimism.

"Enjoy the break though, because 2012 will be here in a flash!”

Members are advised that the Club administration and Member Service Centre will close for the Christmas/New Year break at midday on Friday 23 December and will re-open again on Tuesday 3 January.

Members will still be able to renew their memberships during this period using the online and phone renewal options.

CROWmania will be open until 3pm on Saturday 24 December for all those last-minute Christmas gifts and re-open at 9.00am on Tuesday 3 January.
