The American Club 2018/2019 Annual Report

AT THE HEART OF IT ALL Home is where the heart is, and our Members are without a doubt the heart of The Club. As redevelopment has shaped The Club into a home for Members new and old for the years to come, we have adapted to support the community which brings us together.

To cater to changing market needs, The Club moved to launch a Pathway membership for Americans and Canadians. Launched in the fall of 2016, the Pathway membership promotion drew to a strong close on June 30, 2018. A total of 148 applications boosted opening membership numbers for FY19. This year saw the launch of a new 4-year payment plan for Ordinary membership, modeled after the successful Pathway membership. While take-up rate fell below expectations, in spite of a 32% shortfall, the head start from the Pathway promotion enabled The Club to operate with an above budget membership level throughout the year. Closing membership was 3,276, +2% to budget.

PAY-AS-YOU-GO MEMBERSHIP FOR AMERICANS & CANADIANS Enjoy the benefits of lifetime membership with the flexibility of paying annually.
