Hello
So it’s that time of year again. On the back of Mike’s email regarding participation (please reply so we know who is playing!!) I thought I’d remind everyone about membership fees and talk about the new development league we are participating in. And ask for money :)
After last year’s change in subscription model – I’m pleased to announce that Adult subs will be staying the same price as last year. As a recap I’ve included details of membership types and pay as you play and details of development league. For Juniors, cost per Adult match will be £5 – there is no requirement for juniors to pay the adult membership fee as they will be members of the junior section
Please remember, without becoming a member you can play as you play up to five League/Cup matches for £10 per match. Where you have played those five matches you will not be available for selection until you become a member. Former members who wish to take up the Friends of Edinburgh South membership for £50 which includes playing in up to five games and voting privileges at all club meetings.
The new development league will consist of 11 games on Sundays – see the website for fixture details. These games will be played with a minimum of 8 players and we need to cover costs of the pitch hire etc.
To accommodate the new fixtures we are introducing a rule where members can play one match per weekend as part of your membership. Non members and members playing a second match on a weekend (i.e. you play in a league match on Saturday AND the development league on Sunday) – the match fee will be £10. This match fee is to cover a full days hire of a pitch – we do not make any money from fees.
For people only interested in playing development league – you can pay £10 per match for every development game you play and not join. Any questions, contact Ian in the first instance.
To pay your membership fee we have a number of payment methods and schedules.
Full member - £220
Concession/student - £160
Payment by cash/cheque (payable to Edinburgh South CC) for full amount to Ian Irving
Or by bank transfer to the club account (contact Ian for bank details and to confirm payment made – although they have not changed from last year if you already have them)
To help, you can spread your membership fee over 2 or 4 payments. Each schedule is defined below. If you are currently paying by monthly standing order you can continue, however we are unable to set anymore monthly subscribers unfortunately. If you are a monthly payer, remember that your payment in April is £5/£4 more – contact Ian to discuss this or you can make an extra payment to the club accounts to cover.
Two payment - due now and June - £110 full, £80 concession
Four payments - due now, May, June and August - £55 full, £40 concession
Can I ask you to reply to this message or contact Ian and advise on the payment structure you want to use. Please note - the payment structure you select MUST ensure you complete payment of the full membership fee should you be leaving Edinburgh throughout the season.
Any questions, issues or to confirm payment contact Ian Irving on 07903238590 or at scotduggy@hotmail.com
Thanks
