Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who can become a member of the Sparta
Golf Society?
A: Membership is open to current and past permanent members of staff of
Communities & Local Government and the Department for Transport or
their preceding departments. Contractors, consultants, agency and
temporary staff may become members whilst employed with either
department but membership may only continue after employment at the
discretion of the Committee.
Q: What is the cost of membership?
A: Membership costs £15 a year. This is in addition to Sparta
membership (£12 a year) which is a precursor to Society membership.
Q: What are the advantages of
membership?
A: A full member receives substantial discount on the full cost at
each event. Indeed, the savings can outweigh the cost of annual
membership. In addition, a full member has priority at all events,
receiving advance notice of entries. Only full members can serve on
the Committee.
Q: Are there other types of membership?
A: Yes. Associate membership can be had for those who do not wish to
pay the annual Society membership but are members of the Sport and
Recreation Association (SPARTA) of the two departments. Associate
members however will receive a reduced subsidy at events and also
will not get advance notice of entries.
