The Royal tea Club was started in February 2005 by a committee of women who just love to "do" tea. Our purpose is to have fun and fellowship. At least one tea event a month is scheduled March through December, usually in Maryland or Pennsylvania. We also love to travel, incorporating visits to more distant tea rooms on our trips. Our members are currently from Alabama, California, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia. We never have membership "meetings" and average 300 members per year.

TEA RESERVATION PROCEDURES

You must contact Sharon Hart by phone or email. See contact information below.

- Reservations will be taken on a first come, first serve basis.

- Emailed reservation requests must be confirmed by the club before they are considered accepted.

- Do not send payment until your reservation is confirmed.

- Once you have made your reservation, and it has been confirmed, your payment must be received by the club within 10 days. If it is not received within that time frame, your reservation will be canceled.

- An event is closed 10 days before the event is to take place or the date specified in the newsletter.

REFUND INFORMATION

A tea room prepares food for the number of people reserved. Money you send for a tea reservation is non-refundable unless a cancellation is made prior to the cutoff date posted in the newsletter or a person on the waiting list is available to take your place.

Any money due you from a cancellation will be carried on the club books as credit. All unused credit will be returned after the last event in December. No refunds or credits of less than $1.00 will be given.

GUEST POLICY

Our guest fee is $2.50. If the guest decides to join the club, the $2.50 fee will be applied to their club dues for that calendar year.

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND

If you find you are unable to attend an event you have reserved, please contact Sharon as soon as possible. This will allow her time to contact the next person on the waiting list and you may receive a refund.

Please, do not give your seat to another person. Contact the club office first. We must be fair to those who are on the 'waiting list.'
