Dues and Annual fees
2011/12 Annual Subscriptions & Dues
At the clubs recent AGM a motion was passed to increase weekly dues for the 2011-12 season. A further motion was passed for the re-introduction of an annual Club Membership fee together with a new dues pricing structure.
We continue to work hard to ensure value for money and are keen to remind parents that for the past two seasons dues have been frozen and indeed Annual Sub waived. Sadly however, due to the general increase in hire charges at our training venues during the year coupled with the VAT increase (Jan 2011) we are no longer in a financial position to freeze dues and waive Annual Club Membership for a third consecutive year. We take great pride in being able to offer all our squads the best facilities available and to continue to do so we feel this rise is essential.
We have also decided to introduce a new fee structure (see below) reflecting the training requirements for each squad.
Payments below are per boy (up to 2 boys/family). There is a special rate for families with a third or more child at Ridgeway. The £30 Annual fee is payable separately and applies to each boy.
Annual Club Membership.....£30.....due by 15th August 2011
Term per term(T)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------96-02's 03-04's 05's 06's
T1..........1 Aug 11 to 31 Oct 11........due by 30 Sept 11.....£50..... £45.....£35.....PAYP
T2..........1 Nov 11 to 31 Dec 11........due by 30 Nov 11 .....£50.....£45.....£35.....PAYP
T3..........1 Jan 12 to 31 Mar 12.........due by 30 Jan 12.....£50.....£45.....£35.....PAYP
T4..........1 Apr 12 to 31 May 12........due by 31 Mar 12.....£50.....£45.....£35.....PAYP
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’.
For the majority of teams, this equates to fees of less than £5 per week. When compared with the costs of coaching / lessons of other activities such as golf, swimming or music, we believe this still offers significant value for money.
Notes:
1. New players joining mid-term will pay dues from start of following term (£50), along with annual membership fee (£30).
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 players team manager. Refunds are at the rate of £3/week.
3. Only 2006 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 96’s to 04’s will train during the week at the usual venues (Hanwood, Civil Service & Ashfield Boys). The final timetable will be released nearer the time.
At the beginning of October our winter training schedule kicks in with training moving to Hanwood, Civil Service & Ashfield Boys.
