Dear Parent/Guardian


After the clubs annual general meeting there was a long discussion over the annual fees paid by our members per season. After research into what other Northumberland junior football clubs charge per season we have decided to change our fees for the coming 2011/12 season.

Each member will be required to pay a £20 deposit before the season starts. This deposit is broken down below:

•£15 for personal player kit (Shirt, shorts, rain jacket, bag) this is refunded once all kit is handed back to the club (i.e. at the end of the season, player leaving the club, etc).

•£ 2 membership fee to the club. Club membership forms given on receipt of the membership fee.

•£ 3 for club socks. For hygiene reasons players will get new socks at the beginning of each season if they wish to purchase.

This deposit is kept by the club and issued back to the club member once ALL kit has been handed to the club. We feel this is an important change as we need to replenish kit every season and have had to do this at a huge cost over the seasons. This is the first season we have used the deposit system.

We are going to break up the annual fees into 3 deadlines in the season. The first payment of £40 will be due by the end of August 2011. The second payment of £40 will be due at the end of November 2011 and the final payment of £40 will be due at the end of March 2012.

The total payment for every member of the club for each season will be £120.

We do offer an alternative for parents/guardians who want to pay in full of £110 before the end of August 2011.

We feel have had to slightly increase fees due to an increase in pitch fees, kit, player insurance, referees fees and all the other expenses behind the scenes in association football. After the review we are still the cheapest club to play for in the area.

If you have any queries about any of the above please see your team manager.

Yours in sport
