Increase in Facility Fees


Increase in Facility Fees – Effective 01 July 2012

In light of recent increases in the costs of operating the various club activities (in particular, a substantial increase in electricity costs) the Committee of Management has determined that Facility Fees will be increased to help defray these costs.  Therefore, as of and from the 1st of July 2012, the following facility fees will be applied –
Adults - $4.00 per operating session.
Juniors - $2.00 per designated Junior Running operating session.
Juniors - $3.00 per operating session not designated as a Junior
Running session.
Social Meetings - $3.00 (no change).

Please note that the Club is still in a very healthy financial position.  However, the Club cannot continue to absorb all increases in operating costs.  The revenue from most of our operating sessions does not cover the costs associated with opening up the club for that session (and this has been the case for many years).
