WHY NOT BRAAI AT THE CLUB?
With Durban's summer weather in full bloom it's time for members to consider braaing at the club on those balmy summer evenings Durban is so well known for. If you want to braai, the following is the procedure:
Minimum of 7 people.
Braai's can be held everyday, provided the Club Duty Manager gets notice thereof before 12h00 the day of the braai. On Sundays & Public Holidays fires are lit after the first braai pack has been sold and continue until 18h00.
The following Braai Packs are available:
3 Meat - Steak, Boerewors & Chicken Kebabs
2 Meat - a choice of two from the above.
1 Meat - a choice of one from the above
Included are 4 different salads & rolls.
Members are not permitted to bring their own meat.

FUNCTION CANCELLATION POLICY
The Club's cancellation policy with regard to functions booked on our premesis is strictly 7 days before the event. Cancellations made less than 5 days before the event will be charged 50% and no shows will be charged in full.

MEMBERS PRICING BENEFIT
Members are reminded that the Club still has a ‘two-tier' pricing system, and that bona-fide members who produce their valid membership cards, enjoy a discount on the advertised prices. The General Committee discourages members from loaning their Club card to non-members to benefit from the lower pricing as they are only defrauding the Club and fellow members with this practice.
PLEASE DO NOT LEND YOUR CARD TO NON-MEMBERS SO THAT THEY CAN BENEFIT FROM A LOWER PRICE.
