LBC 2020 Membership Campaign

LBC 2020 Membership campaign is now underway!

​ The yearly dues for 2020 were raised to $20 by a vote of members attending our annual club meeting on November 18.

This is the first time that LBC has raised dues. The reason for the increase is to cover the costs of improvements and to add more functionality to our club’s website.

You can make your annual dues payment to any board member.

The preferred method of payment is by check made out to LBC, but cash will also be accepted.

You can also mail your dues to Ed Priest, 3207 French Place, Austin, TX 78722.

We hope you will renew your LCB membership and enjoy another fun year of pétanque,

Your LCB Board
