Good afternoon all,
Good night last night, though I didn't take any pics...legs were hurting from my new exercise regime.....yeah - shocking ain't it!
Anyway, some old school Necromunda, Judge Dread, The Walking dead, Marvell CCG and Gaz and I did modelling and painting.
Don't get too excited, I didn't paint!
Instead Gaz was using contrast paints to paint his new Khemri Blood Bowl team whilst I sorted out and fixed up the Club's new Chaos Space Marine army which was very kindly donated by the amazing Richard.
Gaz and I reckon that we are looking at over 5000 points at 9th Ed points and config...so fecking awesome! :)
Anyway, the main point of this post is to introduce the returning Yearly membership and give you an update on costs for the hall:
Yep - it's happened, we have been given notice that the hall hire is going to be increasing to £45 for a standard session.
We have agreed that we will maintain the current £35 for 2023.
To this end and nicely in line with soe of your requests and the talk around the Council table, we are reintroducing the yearly option for club membership.
Yearly membership for 2023 works out as follows:
£80 for the whole year and can be paid either in a single payment or over 6 months.
Because we are already a few months into the year, membership this year is discounted to £56 which again can be paid either as a single payment or over 6 months.
You might be asking what you get for your membership:
1. We run 25 standard sessions a year, and with the membership you only pay for 20 of those sessions. That represents a 20% discount! :)
On the all day events we run for the club (non tournament days), instead of having to pay double you only have to pay the uplift (currently a full day is £6, so that would equate to £2)
2. Voting rights at the club council meetings, including the AGM
3. The ability to petition a club council meeting (This will require 10 signatures to call)
4. The knowledge that you are helping keep the club running, especially during this time when everything is getting more expensive.
There may be other benefits that we introduce going forward, for instance we used to give a 10% for the tournaments, and I'm sure we can sort that going forward too!
If you would like to take advantage of this deal, please do let me know, either via PM here, or in person at the next club meet.
Going forward to 2024, the membership rises to £100 for the whole year and again will be able to be paid over a period of time, most likely 5 monthly payments at £20 each month
Obviously we do not want to put our fees up, and it's been great with the hall hire as they have been able to resist putting up their cost until now, but now is the time.
This is a little sad for us as we have been at our current entry fee since we moved into the Scout hall, and I hate having to charge you guys more. Sorry...if I could keep things the same I would.
