Illabunda Ski Lodge

Waiting List Procedure

Waiting List Procedures

In January 2018, the Committee (Board of Directors) of the Port Kembla Ski Club made changes to the waitlist process.  Specifically;

"…The Committee has been looking at Options to increase occupancy levels at the Lodge, in particular non-member occupancy which has been decreasing.  It was felt that a contributor to the reduced occupancy is the lack of New Members from outside the Illabunda family.

The Committee want to strike a balance between maintaining Illabunda's family culture while encouraging new members and after much discussion with Members and careful consideration by the Committee, the Committee has decided to revise the waiting list applicant process.

Firstly, we believe this can be achieved through acceleration of offers to the non-family waiting list applicants, particularly those that utilise and contribute to the club.

Consequently, the Committee has decided that effective immediately; offers of full membership will alternate between the family waiting list applicants (spouses, adult children) and the non-family waiting list applicants.

Secondly, to reinforce our desire for active members, applicants may be removed from the waitlist if they do not contribute to the Club.  In January 2019 (and annually thereafter) the committee will review the waiting list.  Those applicants that have not  contributed to the club (lodge stay, working bee, raced/coached, etc.) over the last two years may be removed.  The decision to remove applicants will be at the sole discretion of the committee.

We look forward to your help as we work towards building an even stronger Illabunda community…".

Club Members expect that persons on the waiting list will contribute to the Club.  If you do not contribute to the Club (lodge stay, working bee, raced/coached, etc.) over two years you will be removed from the waiting list.
