Subscriptions 2016 – Schedule A 2015

Here are three important reminders for the membership.

1.  Subscriptions 2016

Subscriptions are due on 31 January 2016.  Subscriptions must be received no later than midnight KL time on this date. Please note that players cannot be entered into competitions after this deadline if the 2016 subscription is not paid by the deadline.

Clause 26.6 of the BWF constitution states:

“A subscription shall be payable prior to a Member or its players taking part in competitive events as in Clause 26.1″. “In no circumstances can a Member’s player(s) or a team continue to compete beyond the due date for payment of the subscription, nor can that Member stage a Federation sanctioned tournament”.

Subscription invoices were sent to Members in November 2015.

Please contact Chia Lee [email protected] if you need this to be resent.

2.  AGM Delegate Travel Grant and Schedule A 2015

The BWF is again offering a travel grant to assist each Member to cover the travel costs for one (1) delegate to attend the 2016 AGM.  The same principles apply as last year.

More details will be available in early February. Please note however that to be eligible to receive the travel grant for the 2016, the Member must submit its 2015 Schedule A no later than 31 January 2016 .
