Dear Member,
Inevitably in the current climate we
need to raise our total income to match the increasing costs of
running the club. However the Squash Committee believe it is fairer
to charge more for those who play more. Therefore the price of an
off-peak court will be increased to £2.50 (from £2.00) as from 1st
September 2008 and the Committee may have to raise peak and week-end
court prices later in the year if costs continue to grow. The good
news is that there will be no increase in the fees for your
2007/2008 membership.
These subs are due for renewal on or
before 1st September 2008 and we will continue with the
collection system adopted in previous years, namely:
(1) There will be an early
payment discount.
(2) You are encouraged to pay
your subs via your debit/credit card through the squash booking
system.
As last year, the discount for
existing Tennis members is £50 (£25 midweek, Senior and Young / £10
Junior and Country) and the ‘Family Discount’ of 10% applies to
parents and children in full time education living at the same
address.
The amounts due under the various
categories are:
*****************************************************************
Full £160
(£150 if paid before 1st Sep 2008)
Midweek, Young (19-24), Senior
£ 80 (£ 75 if paid before 1st Sep
2008)
Junior (Under 19),
Country £ 30 (£ 25 if paid
before 1st Sep 2008)
Social £ 20
(£15 if paid before 1st Sep 2008)
*****************************************************************
Debit/Credit Card Payments
– Simply log in to the squash booking system as usual. Click on the
‘Pay on Line’ (with the VISA symbol) and you will see a message
indicating your renewal amount. Assuming you are happy with the
amount click ‘Go to Online Payment’. On this screen you should tick
the box to pay your membership fee, choose whether to also top-up
your booking pre-payment and select your card type. Click ‘OK’ and
you’re back to the usual debit/credit card payment screen.
Family/Tennis members
- The appropriate discount should
have been applied to existing joint Tennis/Squash members, though
please check before paying. However, it’s still too complicated to
incorporate the family discount. So if you are eligible for either
the 10% Family discount or you believe the amount shown as owing on
your account is incorrect, you can either:
(1)
Fill in and return a renewal form to the Club Manager with a
cheque for the whole family for the net amount after discounts (Form
can be found at the Clubhouse or on the squash section of the
web-site
www.cbltsc.com), or
(2)
Settle each account on-line as above (without any discount)
and send Rob an e-mail (robballingall@yahoo.co.uk
) asking for the discount to be credited to your squash booking
account.
Late Payment
– The system will automatically block the booking rights of any
member with unpaid subs on 1st September 2008. As a last
resort, Rob has been instructed to exclude from the October Leagues
any member who has still not paid by 30th September 2008.
To minimise administration, this
note will be posted on the notice boards and e-mailed to all members
on the squash booking system. Only those members who have not
paid by 1st September will be sent a letter – so please
make our life easier (and save yourself some cash!) by paying as
soon as you can.
