I now have the pack for
the club to start the process to join Badminton England (BE) & Devon County
Badminton Association (DCBA), as well as insurance cover for 'Public Liability'
(covered by BE in the clubs affiliation fees) & 'Personal Accident'
(PA).
Firstly, we need to look for a Secretary, Treasurer, Match
Secretary & Chair. The clubs affiliation fees to BE are £46.20 & to DCBA
£22.50, which it shoud be possible to pay from the weekly fees provided we
maintain our high numbers of attendance.
We also need to understand who is prepared to help out with the club & in
what capacity & for anyone who would like to help out with youth
development, there will need to be a CRB (criminal record) form completed. Then
we need to start to sign up individually to BE & DCBA, for which the fees
are:
BE Senior £9.30 BE Junior £4.65 - Public Liability
runs 1st Sept 2008 to 1st Sept 2009
DCBA Senior £4.50 DCBA
Junior £2.25
PA Senior £1.80 PA Junior £0.90 - 1st
Nov to 31st Oct
To encourage as many of you to sign up early, there will be no membership fee
for the club. Membership of the club will effectively occur by completing
membership to BE. Those not signed up to BE will be treated as guests of the
club. Currently there is no differentiated charge for attending sessions, but
this may be something that will occurr after a certain date, possibly 1st
November, although this will only likely be 50p per session extra whilst you
remain a guest & could be recoverable if you subsequently join BE as a
member of the Ilfracombe club. Gary Tovey

Thanks to all that attended this week....an amazing 40 of us! For those that
didn't attend, we had to open up a court in the gym, adjacent to the hall &
so had the use of 5 courts. Next week & until further notice we are going to
extend club night by starting at 1800hrs (6pm) & running through to
2130hrs(9.30pm). Feedback from the session was that many of you with children
would like to start earlier. We will therefore aim to run a 'family' session
from 6 to 7.30 & an 'adult' session from 7.30 to 9.30, although you can turn
up at any time throughout the night
Family Discounts
With some of you attending with more than one child & with numbers as
they are, we are able to reduce the fees for each additional child after the
first child. Fees for the second child & each additional child from the same
family will be £1 instead of the normal £2. If both parents attend, then every
child will only be charged £1.
Coaching Discounts
Anyone signing up for badminton coaching will receive a £1 discount for each
club session they attend whilst the coaching is being undertaken. The next
badminton coaching sessions are due to begin on Tuesday 23rd September 2008 at
North Devon College (NDC, Barnstaple) & will last for 10 weeks at a total
cost of £30.50p. The net cost to you, after club discounts will be £20.50p.
North Devon College
For those not able to attend this time, there will be a new round of courses
in January & it is likely we will continue the discounts. We will also be
offering some coaching on club nights for those unable to attend the courses
offered through NDC. Some of the coaching offered will be 'free of charge' &
some will be at a subsidised cost & ofcourse you can opt in or out. For more
information on coaching, please visit the coaching section of the club website

There is much more in the pipeline, but I don't want to drown you all in
information. However, feel free to raise anything you would like considered,
cheers, Gary |
