With escalating costs we have found it necessary to increase 2012 subscriptions but would hope to be able to hold them at this level beyond the year end.
The committee has been tasked with significantly reducing costs this year and we will commit to cutting costs, but not members services, over the next six months. This may mean changes to the current status quo but would appreciate members feedback ,and indeed assistance, in implementing these changes for the benefit of the membership as a whole.
Please do remember that the members annual subscriptions are used to cover the annual overheads; while they still fall just a little short of this annual spend we anticipate that through prudent spending, fundraising, and other income streams, the club will be able to provide value for money to its members and provide good facilities to encourage time on the water and social activities.
