“Each Member’s entitlement to the wine as aforesaid is subject to the condition that the Member is not in arrears with levies due to the Association and as such, for every month that the Member is in arrears with his levies, he shall not be entitled to receive wine for that month. Furthermore, wine shall be stored by the Company for a maximum of 3 (Three) months only and accordingly, should a Member fail to collect his wine from the Croydon Winery, alternatively arrange for the delivery thereof and make prepayment of the delivery charges, such Member’s wine shall be forfeited to the Company at no cost.”
Effect: Members who are in arrears with their levies or who do not collect their wine or arrange for same to be collected within a 3 (Three) month period, will not be entitled to the wine.
Reason: The storing, production and bottling of wine is done at a cost and as such, persons who have not paid the levies which are due should not be entitled to such benefits. In addition, the storage facilities at Croydon Winery are at a minimum and therefore it is essential that owners either collect their wine or make pre-payment for such wine to be delivered to an address of their choice.
