Regular Session Guests /
Proposed Members

An individual can only be admitted as a guest twice in his lifetime. After having been a guest twice, the introducing Member must request the Junta to rule on the granting of Whiff membership to the proposed member.  If acceptable, he will be admitted to the next meeting upon a prorated payment of dues.

Methods of Payment

  • Membership dues should be made  by Interac e-Transfer. Please send your payments to treasurer@whiff-of-grape.ca.
    A PDF “cheat sheet” on how to make Interac e-Transfers to the Whiff may be downloaded from here.
    [N.B., Due to the high cost, the Whiff is not set up as a Payee for Bill Payment using on-line banking services.]
  • NO cash please, but cheques will be accepted if e-Transfers are not possible.
  • Credit Card payment is not possible as the Whiff no longer has a Merchant account due to the associated high processing costs.
