Northside Wizards Clubs can accept registrations until 13/09/2024 (unless filled earlier).
If any clubs have space left within any of their teams, they may still accept registrations to fill teams.
Is there an option for a payment plan?
Northside Wizards is happy to advise that we are offering an instalment option, full registration fees paid before the season commences. The instalment payments will be debited on the dates below:
Instalment #1: At time of registration + BQ membership if required
Instalment #2: 28/08/2024
Instalment #3: 11/09/2024
Instalment #4: 25/09/2024
Instalment #5: 09/10/2024
Instalment amounts are $87.06
BQ/BA membership fees are $44.51/$82.14
Any registrations coming in after any of the dates, their payment at time of registration will include any amounts up to that point.
Example: Registering on 28/08/2024, would see the payment at time of registration being both Instalment #1 & Instalment #2 + BQ membership if required.
The balance of the fees would then be paid in instalments across the remaining dates.
Note: any failed instalments that remain unpaid when the competition commences, are not eligible to play until finalised.
