Revised Fees for 2008 / 2009 All Squads

WELCOME

• Firstly on behalf of the committee, may we
  thank you all for attending this meeting

• The review of the annual and monthly fees is
  never an easy or pleasant task

• The results of each years review are always
  carefully considered by the committee members and
  it is important that the results are relayed to
  you as paying parents

• Additionally, we all have concerns regarding the
  Credit crunch and its impact on our family
  finances and this has highlighted the need for
  greater communication in this mater of club fees
  hence the meeting

Club Fees

• There are 2 aspects of the fees that need to be
  considered and reviewed separately
• 1 . The ASA membership.
• 2. The Club Fees

• The ASA fees are set and imposed upon the club by
  the ASA.

• The ASA have raised their fees for 2008/2009 and
  the increases are Category 1 (Those of you with
  a pink form) 10.75 and Category 2 ( or
  those of you with a blue form) 26.00. These are
  included on a schedule and will be handed out
  later

• Much of the increase this year will be used to
  assist in the funding of various schemes
  throughout the country and also provide
  facilities for the Olympics in 2012

• The ASA also provides the formal insurance cover
  for your children whilst training and competing
  for RSC.

• It is a requirement of the ASA that we implement
  strict policies to ensure that all children are
  insured to swim at all times.

• We are sure that you will agree with the
  Committee that the safety and well being of your
  child is a primary concern and that it would be
  unreasonable for anyone to argue that their child
  should not fully insured at all times

• The committee does not have any input or
  discretion in deciding the level of ASA fees

• The ASA fee's are payable annually and must be
  paid by 31st December 2008. Without these fees we
  cannot allow your child to enter the pool

• Obviously the last thing we want to do is to
  discourage anyone from swimming, but we cannot
  apply discretion when it comes to the safety of
  the swimmers, poolside assistants and coaches

• We trust that you will understand that
  implementing a revised structure is never an easy
  task and it is not a decision that the Committee
  ahs taken lightly

• The revised monthly fees for the year 2008/2009
  have been agreed at a number of Committee
  meetings and these fees take into account the
  recently revised training schedules

• However the committee are pleased to announce it
  has agreed a reduction from the originally
  proposed fees, in both annual and monthly fees
  taking on board the current financial climate as
  we recognise that at these times, any additional
  cost to the family unit may prove difficult.

• The committee has also agreed to defer the
  changes to the monthly fees until 1st December
  2008. Therefore, please make the appropriate
  changes to your standing order well in advance.

• These reductions and concessions have been made
  possible by the continued fund raising efforts we
  have all made as a club over the year.
