Dues and Annual fees
JUNE 2012
2012/13 Annual Subscriptions & Dues
At the clubs recent AGM a motion was passed to freeze weekly dues for the 2012-13 seasons at £200 (payable £50 per term). A further motion was reluctantly passed to increase the Annual sub to £40. Whilst the dues structure will not change some of the squads may find themselves moved into a higher tariff as is determined by additional costs associated with developing squads. These tariffs were set however on the basis that each league team and development squad make a defined collective contribution to the running of the club. This contribution will be made from fundraising activities. The situation will be reviewed in January at which stage we may have to increase dues for terms 3 & 4
The committee continues to work hard to provide the best facilities available together with adequate training equipment, to ensure all coaches are suitably qualified and also to ensure our teams on match day and at training sessions are suitably fitted in proper Ridgeway attire. The overriding factor however is always to ensure value for money. With 9 league teams (97's - 02's) and 6 development squads (2002's - 07's) some costs, particularly training venues continue to spiral. During the past financial year, club dues rose as expected but so too did costs with expenditure on pitch hire alone amounting to more than £33k (£20k 2010/11 season). We take great pride in being able to offer all our squads the best facilities available but to continue to do so we feel we must increase our fundraising activities across the club.
As a committee, we may bring proposals to each squad as how best to organise meaningful fundraising. This may include bag packs, Christmas ballots, social evenings, sponsored events, we may also enter next May's Belfast City Marathon. One thing is certain! We need ALL parents in ALL squads to buy into the 'club' concept. If this happens all the players will benefit.
The fee structure introduced last season will remain in place and reflects the training requirements for each squad.
Payments below are per player (up to 2/family). There is an adjustment to the rate for families with three or more children at Ridgeway. The £40 Annual fee is payable separately and applies to each player.
Annual Club Membership fee: £40 due by Saturday 4th August 2012 - (50% deposit being taken at registration night).
Dues per term:
Term due by 97-03’s 04’s-05’s 06’s 07’s
1st Aug 2012 – 31st Oct 2012 31st August 2012 £50 £45 £35 PAYP-£3/wk
1st Nov 2012 – 31st Dec 2012 30th November 2012 £50 £45 £35 PAYP-£3/wk
1st Jan 2013 – 31st March 2013 31st January 2013 £50 £45 £35 PAYP-£3/wk
1st April 2013 – 31st May 2013 31st March 2013 £50 £45 £35 PAYP-£3/wk
Training venues and pitches for matches are paid by RRFC in advance and therefore prompt payment of dues is greatly appreciated. All cheques should be made payable to ‘Ridgeway Rovers FC’.
Notes:
1. New players joining mid-term will pay dues from start of following term (£50), along with annual membership fee (£40).
2. In the case of player absence through injury, a refund of fees will only be considered if more than two weeks training are missed and will be granted at the discretion of the player’s team manager. Refunds are at the rate of £3/week.
3. Only 2007 boys will be allowed to Pay as You Play (PAYP) at £3 / week as we encourage them to settle into life at Ridgeway.
Autumn / Winter Training
Arrangements for pre-season training will be at the discretion of the coaching staff of each team. Please make sure you know when and where your boy is meant to be. It is hoped that training for all squads will be at Pirrie Park until the end of September.
From the end of September our winter schedule kicks in when our 1997’s to 2004’s will train during the week at the usual venues (Hanwood, Playball & Ashfield Boys). The final timetable will be released nearer the time.
Fundraising Initiative
A contribution per team / squad towards club running costs was agreed at £750. This may initially seem like a large amount but given the average number of boys in a squad this contribution amounts to approx £50 per boy or £1.25/week (squad size 15) or £30 or £0.75/week (squad size 25).
The Committee see RRFC as a long term plan and not just a season to season club. Our investment in the players begins when they arrive at the club and our ultimate aim is to retain the players throughout their junior footballing development, where possible.
We will be encouraging each squad to organise a fundraising event both before Christmas and then again after Christmas. The club committee will organise a Christmas ballot during December.
So for example the 1999 squad (16 boys)
1. Bag pack raises a conservative £500
2. Christmas ballot - each boys sells a modest 20 ballots = £320
3. Wine & cheese evening raises £300
Total £1,120
£750 will be passed to the main club account with any surplus being used to subsidise a team event such as an end of season trip or perhaps training kit the following season.
Even after 1 or 2 events if the target has been met, the parents may decide not to organise a 3rd fundraiser.
We depend on the support of you the parents and if everyone does their bit, the ultimate winners in our efforts will be the players. Moving forward we would be keen to form a 'club' fundraising committee that would oversee all fundraising. To survive in these hard economic times increased fundraising is essential if we are to continue to lead the way in junior football.
If you have any queries or would like to offer assistance please speak to your team manager in the first instance or anyone on the committee.
