Use of B & T by Non - Members
A proposal has been made to allow Resident Golf and Social
Members access to the pool and tennis courts by giving them guest
passes at a charge of $5 and $10. It is the opinion of this
committee that this would be viewed negatively by the members of
the B & T and could have a detrimental effect on our efforts to
revitalize the membership.
1.B & T members currently feel that they
less for their fees. One of the reasons
guest days and free guest passes for B &
cancelled in the recent past. At a time

for this is that free

reminder of the
2.B & T members take a risk when they pay their fees. They have
no way of knowing exactly how many days they will be able to use
the facilities due to variables such as weather and mechanical
breakdowns. If you look at the past season, those members will
tell you that their use of the pool was very limited by these two
factors. So on the days when the weather was very good, a lot of
members came. You can assume that those who have guest passes
would also choose the very good days resulting in a very crowded
condition.
If you consider the two groups this would benefit it is also hard
to justify.
1.The cost of a Social membership is already so low it is
difficult to justify further benefits. For $25 they already get
equal standing to B & T members when it comes to seating in the
restaurant and attendance and seating at Club Social events.
There is also the possibility that B & T members who are
infrequent users may drop their membership to a Social
membership. A family of individual Social members would be
entitled to a significant number of these passes.
2.Golf members currently have access to the Clubhouse and all
Social events. In addition, they can already join the B & T and
have full access to the facilities at a reduced rate. Using last
year's fee schedule, an Unlimited Resident Golfer paid $460. For
an additional $283, he could have joined the B & T as an
Individual Resident member. This is the Individual Resident fee
of $375 -$92 (a 20% discount on the golf fee for members of
both.) Using the same formula, a Weekday Resident golfer could
join for an additional $305 and a Resident Senior Weekday golf
member could join for an- additional $242.
3.Oak Brook Days already gives both these groups, as well as all
other residents of Oak Brook, access to the facilities once every
summer.
One justification for this proposal has been as a promotional
tT
It- ;,`7 ®190
effort to expose potential members to the facility. Both of
these groups are already familiar with the facility. Those who
have spoken in support of this have expressed no interest in
joining at the regular rates. They want to use the facilities
and pay less than those of us who are members pay.
If this is an attempt to try to encourage more Oak Brook
residents to benefit from the facility, we would like to be given
the time to develop some ways that this could be better
accomplished. We would direct our efforts towards residents who
currently are not using any part of the Sports Core, as opposed
to those who already make some use of it.
We ask you to reject this proposal.
