Extended Family

There are 3 ways to extend your membership for an additional fee. See below.

The TBCA Extended Family Membership is for Tunstall Bay Beach Club members with an extended family not living on the island who would be using the club more than 4 times a year. “Extended family” is defined as those living in one household: Each extended family needs their own extended family membership.

Designated Other Primary Parent

For divorced/separated families in two households where both parents would like access to the Club with the children.

− a former or separated spouse or partner of a TBCA member and there is a formal or informal sharing of a child or children
− grandparents or other relatives who look after the child or children of a TBCA member in their temporary absence (eg. away on holiday, away for work)

a) The Member or Associate applies for this membership and must consent in writing.

b) This privilege is limited to the use of TBCA facilities only when the Designated Other Primary Parent is accompanying the child or children they share with the Member or Associate.

c) The Designated Other Primary Parent do not themselves have privileges to invite non-members.

d) The Member or Associate is not required to be present during the visits.

e) A Designated Other Primary Parent membership is linked to a TBCA full membership. It is not a separate membership and thus the TBCA member would ultimately be responsible for damages. In this case, for most infractions the Designated Other Primary Parent privileges would be suspended. If property damages occur and the Designated Other Primary Parent does not agree to pay then the TBCA member would be held accountable for the damages.

f) The Member or Associate is responsible for giving TBCA Rules and Regulations to the Designated Other Primary Parent.

g) The fees are identical to and separate from the Extended Family Membership Fee

h) The Designated Other Primary Parent may receive a fob– a deposit will be required.
