Treasurer update
Subs increase – with the cost of everything increasing (ref fees alone are up over 20%) it’s been agreed that fees for playing and training will go up to £22 and £15 respectively (from £20 and £12). We still consider this very competitive.
Bank account – an ongoing issue with Santander has made this a slow process. The club is looking at other options. As part of this the links for membership payments are likely to be delayed – possibly starting in Oct and ending in June. Action – Chad Potter to create communication for parents re this.
Ref Fees – will be paid to each coach in batches of ten.
CWO update
DBS checks are delayed, can take up to six months!
Any recertification courses or DBS should be done well in advance of their expiry date to avoid delays.
AOB
Request made for some allocation or structure made for Saturday morning park training. Action: Ben Bell to investigate.
