MEMBERSHIP CARDS
In the first two rounds played at the SCG there has been some congestion at Gates C and F, some of this is due Member’s attempting to scan their 2007 Membership card while still in the plastic sleeve, to assist SCG Trust staff and lessen queues at gates please have your card out of the plastic sleeve and ready to scan prior to getting to the front of the line. Your assistance with this is appreciated.
