Full Membership may be awarded at the discretion of the Executive Committee
of any Member Club upon application of a proposer and a seconder both being

Full Members are entitled to enter all meetings and annual competitions.
A Full Member shall play in a minimum of 6 (Six) monthly meetings of his

The Executive Committee of any Member Club may waive the
requirements set out in 7.3.3 in the event of his Member Club being

Should a player fail to play in a monthly meeting of his Member Club
but plays in any of the two preceding months, or in either of the four
following months, in the monthly meeting of another Nomad Club,
(whether locally or at any international Club), his obligation for that
particular month shall be deemed to have been met. Such scores shall
not count towards any of his Member Club's annual competitions nor
be used for handicapping. Any Nomad playing a make-up game shall
be able to win as a Nomad of the day, but shall not qualify for that
Club's Gold Cup Competition.

granted the Full Member shall be deemed to have met his playing
obligation as regards that particular meeting or meetings for which
leave of absence was granted.
