Dear Member

Welcome to the 2010/2011 season.

As cheques will soon become a thing of the past, the club is introducing alternative ways of paying annual subs and match fees.

It will now be possible for you to pay a fixed amount, either as one amount or by fixed instalments, which will cover your subs for the 2010/2011 season, training and matches (league, friendly and cup) - however, this excludes mixed games, summer league and tournaments. You also have the ability of just paying for your subs by two instalments (or in one amount by cash/cheque, in the traditional way!) and continue to pay match fees on a weekly basis.

Form 1. Payment of subs and match fees by one online banking payment.
Form 2. Payment of subs and match fees by either two or five instalments by way of standing order
Form 3. Payment of subs by two instalments by way of standing order – match fees to be paid on day match played (£7.00 for senior players, £4.00 for others)

Should you become injured, and therefore unable to play, a refund of fees already paid up front for the remainder of the season will be considered.

If you are an occasional player, there is the option of paying £10.00 subs, with match fees of £10.00 payable on day of match. However, selection priority will be given to players who have paid full subs.

Whichever method you chose, a membership form must be completed.

If you have any queries, please either speak with your captain or me (I will be at training on Tuesdays), or you can e-mail me on treasurer@ecvhornets-hc.co.uk

Best wishes for a good season!!

ECVH Treasurer
