Dear members

The Club has been advised by our bank that coincident with the end of the 
playing season a small but significant number of Direct Debit mandates for  
monthly membership subscriptions have been rescinded. If you have instructed 
your bank to cease payment in error ( i.e. in the mistaken belief that 
subscriptions are due only in ‘the season’) this is no longer the case.

Club membership is now continuous and subscriptions should be paid over the 
whole of the calendar year. This has been the first year over which we’ve 
collected subscriptions in this manner and it has been something of a learning 
curve for all of us. The level of monthly payments were carefully calculated to 
produce an income commensurate with that previously collected through the old 
system, which consisted of a large lump sum at the start of the season followed 
by match ‘tithes’ throughout the season.

The Club decided to spread the full cost of membership over the calendar year 
to keep payments down and avoid high payments at the beginning of each season 
to purchase playing kit. Suspending payment over the close season would 
therefore lead to serious underfunding of the Club’s activities.

If you are one of the small number of members who didn’t intend to terminate 
your membership in this manner would you please contact the Treasurer (Fred 
Pell) to arrange recommencement of monthly payments/arrears. 

Regards


Kevin Brown
Hon. Secretary
