Dear Members,
You will, maybe, remember that last year the Sailing Club set the Coastal
Rowing Club affiliation fee using a formula that meant family membership of the
Sailing Club proved to be a financially advantageous way of securing Rowing
Club membership for couples and families. This will not be the case for the
coming year.
The Rowing Club Committee received a draft affiliation document from the
Sailing Club this week. The terms of the proposed agreement include a "block"
fee to be levied on the Rowing Club. This fee depends neither on Rowing Club
membership numbers nor on the "Sailing Club Member/not" status of Rowing Club
members.
The Rowing Club Committee is in the process of clarifying several of the terms
of the affiliation agreement, but we wanted to alert you to the fact that your
purchase of Sailing Club membership for the coming year will not lower our
Sailing Club "bill". Therefore, Rowing Club membership fees for the coming
year will be the same for our members who are and are not Sailing Club members.
I am sorry that the Committee has not yet been able to set fees for the coming
year, but the Sailing Club draft affiliation document was only received a few
days ago, and the Committee will need several of its terms to be clarified
before we can estimate the costs for running the Club in the coming year.
Members affected by the information in this message could, perhaps, ask the
Sailing Club for extra time before deciding on whether to renew their Sailing
Club membership, or ask the Sailing Club treasurer not to bank their cheques
yet. This really only applies to rowers who kept up Sailing Club membership
solely in order to obtain cheaper access to the Rowing Club last year.
Yours
Alice Belcher (Treasurer)
