Guidelines & Fees – 2013

Read on …. for Membership & Direct debit forms

All new members (with the exception of Junior (Cadet) and Overseas) must complete the direct debit form for collection of 2nd and subsequent years membership, and attach it to their membership application form, along with a cheque for the appropriate 1st year fees in line with the above.

New Members only pay 50 % of the full fee applicable to their Class : This applies to only Family, Family single, Full, Memberships.

Associate Membership (no discount) only applies where a new applicant is already a member of an RYA affiliated Club.

The Lady Membership type has not been open since 1988, only existing members who joined before this date have the option to utilise this and the associated pensioner rate aligned to it. Therefore the Membership form does not offer this type of membership, it only appears in the Fees listing.

Before applying you should review the rules. Membership implies acceptance of the rules.

LEVY ON MEMBERSHIP – 2013

In September 2012 a Special General Meeting was held to take a decision on a Levy against certain types of memberships. This is a 1 year levy that applies to 2013 Membership. It does not apply to new members joining in 2013

Family	10 mths @ £15	£150
Full	10 mths @ £10	£100
Single Parent	10 mths @ £10	£100
Lady	10 mths @ £5	£50

Overseas	10 mths @ £5	£50
Pensioner, Lady Pensioner, Student, Under 25, Junior and Life Members are not asked to contribute, but could do so if they so wish. This will raise approx. £18,000/£20,000 based on current membership numbers. The Club has received ‘Interest Free Loan’ s from almost 20 Members maximum of £500 i.e. generating £10,000. This is for a period of 5 years to meet the final element of the shortfall. (£9,000 has been raised to date.) For awareness all previous loans of this nature were repaid as required
Please remember that annual Membership Fees for 2013 have not been raised and that Direct Debit payments will now be collected over 4 months as opposed to 3 months, in order to assist Members.
