The Social Club has been welcoming summer students who are employed at Michelin and providing access
free of membership fees for the past number of years. Many questions
have arisen over the years and we will try to answer most of them here
for you.
What facilities or access do we have?
The club has a full size gymnasium and students can book this
subject to availability by calling the club at 543-5018. The gymnasium comes with access to basketballs, indoor soccer balls, floor
hockey sticks, badminton rackets and volleyball equipment. All of these
things at no charge providing everyone is a student employee of the
company.
Could we bring our friends that are not employees but who we hang out with during the summer?
We do not limit who you can bring but we do charge a small fee for
outside access which helps us to maintain value in our membership fees.
You have two options when bringing guest to the gymnasium downstairs.
The first is a $3.00 per hour fee for each non-member and in this case
non-employee. The second is used to help those friends you bring once
the number becomes 8 or more since our outside fee is $23.00 per hour.
Eight people would exceed the hourly rate and thus the hourly rate would be charged.
Can we use the fitness room?
The fitness room has it's own fee to help keep the club membership dues low. Everyone who uses the fitness center without exception pays a small monthly
fee to help out. As a student you have two options. Pay the monthly fee
at the club of $19.50 with no sign up or cancellation fees or if you
would like, have the amount of 8.00 deducted from your pay each pay
period (which is slightly less). Also, if your parent is working at the
plant and using the fitness center a family membership may be the way
to go. All of the paperwork required to sign up is available at the club so it can be completed on your first visit.
Do we have access to the ballfield?
We encourage everyone to book the field for a game amongst coworkers on a day off. The only fee for participants after work is the cost of
the lights which is $15.00 per hour taxes included or under a $1.00 a player per
hour. If you play on an outside team or belong to a group that would
like to use the field just call us and check on the availability. The ballfield is currently free to use with lights extra as mentioned above.
We love to see the facility being used so join in and bring some
friends along.
What about the lounge area upstairs?
We are more than happy to invite you to enjoy the social area
upstairs in the club. You can enjoy
the pool table free of charge, relax and enjoy a movie on the big
screen television. We also have internet access so chatting with far away school mates might be fun as
well. We have darts, cards and welcome you to bring any board games for
a night of fun or perhaps hold you own mini pool tournament. We allow
each student to sign in guest. Since we are a club, it is not
necessary for you to be 19 years of age but of course, if you are not,
certain privileges are restricted in regards to beverages although we
have many other choices for you to select from. Our patio area is
always open late if your prefer the cool summer evening and fresh air.
How do I get involved in events or activities?
Getting involved is relatively simple in that all events are
advertised and we usually require a sign up or registration however
this is not always the case. Simply watch for event posters and
check back to the website from time to time to get updated. Most of our activities are also visible on ENN (television advertising in plant). If there
are any fees for events or activities these would apply to students as
well since event fees go to cover cost.
