Renewal Process Linking in with Teamcards
For those still to renew please find attached the renewal form. The standing order option is not currently available. Please note that Branch membership cards will be distributed together with Teamcards this season, with the exception of Premier Club members and Season Ticket Holders who will receive their Teamcards direct from CUFC.
Aside from those Members who opted out or redeemed their Teamcard points, all Branch Teamcard points will be pooled together and donated to CUFC in the form of a specific purchase. Once I know details of the total amount I will advise what the points have been used for.
