The Club membership subscription for 2011 has been raised by $10 to $45.00. The U-17, U-19 student and non-rider subs remain at $15.00.
Saturday race fees for members will remain at $3.00 but from the start of the Autumn 2011 series, race fees for visitors will increase to $10 per race. If a person who has ridden as a visitor becomes a member they will not be charged a fee for their transponder.
The background to these changes is that the club traditionally aims for subs to cover general and admin costs and race fees to cover race costs. However we are looking at deficits for both these areas in the current financial year.
The committee is mindful that there is no good time to raise fees and that there needs to be good reason for any increase. The increases are necessary but the committee considers the subs and especially the race fees are still very good value.
