Membership Fees Changes (with effect from 01/08/13)

The club's management committee met recently to review the club's membership charges. This year we've made a number of changes to the way membership works and these are effective as of 1st August 2013.

We hope that the changes below will encourage greater membership of the club and help us cover our increased running costs.

And the changes in more detail....

Loyalty Rewarded for people paying by Standing Order
  • As in previous years, to say thank-you, we've decided to allow members with current 12m standing order arrangements to continue paying as they do right now so long as they do not cease or amend the arrangement.
  • For those players on the 8m scheme - please amend your standing order to £25 from your September payment date.  
  • For those players who are already on the 12m scheme who pay more than £15 per month - please amend your standing order to £15 from your August payment date.
  • Please note that the 12m option is only available to players already on this scheme.

Social Membership
  • Increased to £30, the last time memberships were amended was in August 2011 and we feel this still represents excellent value for money 
  • As a special 'offer' If you choose to renew your social membership before the 1st August you will get the £25 rate (even if it is due for renewal after 1st August).

Volunteer Discount
  • In order to encourage volunteering, we will continue to reward people who make a significant contribution of their time to the club. They will be entitled to claim 50% off their membership fees and any match day subs due. This discount will apply to all categories and methods of paying membership except life membership. In this day and age, with time an ever precious commodity, we believe this is one of the fairest ways of rewarding people who give up their time to make the club work.
  • The discount will continue to apply to all club management committee roles and all other elected positions if the position holder wishes to take advantage of it.
  • The discount will also be available to all other club (sub)committee members and volunteers, including unpaid coaches and unpaid referees upon application to the respective management committee chair and subsequent approval by CMC. A volunteer may need to pay the full amount and receive a rebate later following CMC approval.
  • The discount on subs shall apply as long as the committee member/volunteer continues to serve as such. A discounted membership shall remain valid as long as the committee member/volunteer continues to serve.  
  • For more detail on this scheme, please ask the Secretary.

Life Membership
  • This is frozen at £1000 lump-sum and covers your membership and match day subs for life.  If you want to pay over 12 instalments, the price is £1200 (12 x £100).

Membership Cards
  • Members will receive a simple laminated card bearing their name, membership type and an expiry date to make it easier for coaches, team managers and bar staff to see whether membership is valid.
  • Membership cards will be created within 1 month of paying your membership and will be placed behind the bar for collection.
