A friend of mine has been a member of Springfield for something like 12 years.
He has a family membership with his Thai wife. They play every week and now, suddenly, Springfield are demanding proof of his marriage. Even though their joint membership application (and money) was accepted 12 years ago.
Under any circumstances they would be considered married in the eyes of the law.
I wonder if anybody else is facing similar action from Springfield.
Before taking legal action he wonders if many more people are being targeted. He certainly know of at least one couple who are facing the same situation.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Best regards

I’m confused - you say under any circumstances they would be considered married in the eyes of the law, but the rest of it suggests that they’re not married?Houdi wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 5:18 pm A friend of mine has been a member of Springfield for something like 12 years.

Im even more confused, because as i read it, the rest suggests they 'are' married....Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 5:23 pmI’m confused - you say under any circumstances they would be considered married in the eyes of the law, but the rest of it suggests that they’re not married?Houdi wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 5:18 pm A friend of mine has been a member of Springfield for something like 12 years.

Re: Springfield Golf Club, proof of marriage
But if they were married, why wouldn’t they simply provide a copy of their marriage certificate - problem over?

Oh I agree entirely, was just commenting on the "aren't married '' part of your post. The original post is a little confusingDannie Boy wrote:But if they were married, why wouldn’t they simply provide a copy of their marriage certificate - problem over?
And another thing why are they being asked in the first place? Is it because they receive preferential rates as a married couple versus co-habiting?

Re: Springfield Golf Club, proof of marriage
I was suggesting they weren’t married because if they were, then the solution seems simple - provide a copy of the marriage certificate!! As to the rest I neither know nor care, but maybe somebody else knows?thecolonel wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 11:41 amOh I agree entirely, was just commenting on the "aren't married '' part of your post.
