News02 Aug 2011 - IMPORTANT: Membership Changes + Special Club Clothing OrderDear Members, MEMBERSHIP UPDATE AND CLUB CLOTHING Changes to Annual Membership Period Over the past couple of years the club has experienced a significant creep in the payment of membership fees. This is principally a result of a previous change in membership period from the annual financial year to 12 months membership from the date payment is made. Unfortunately our web based membership program cannot send automatic reminders to members when their membership is due for renewal. Different renewal dates therefore involves considerable more administration for the club with no additional benefit. The committee has decided to revert back to an annual membership term based on the financial year, effective immediately. Current annual membership fees will remain unchanged. A standard renewal date for all members will make it easier for members to remember when their membership fees are due and it will also result in a significant reduction in membership administration. How does this impact on your membership? The expiry date of your current membership (you can check this via your login at wstc.org.au) determines how you will be impacted. Bearing in mind of course that as long as you do more than two races during the year you are better off than non members. If you renewed your membership between April – June 2011 your expiry date will automatically become 30 June 2012. If your membership expired before 1 July 2011 and you have not yet renewed as at today’s date you will be required to pay the annual fee and your membership will expire 30 June 2012. If your membership expires between Jul – Nov 2011 (inclusive) you pay the annual fee There are 5 races during this period, so it is well worth renewing to get cheaper race entry. E.g. If an adult chooses not to renew and does say two races they will pay $45 each race (assume non tri vic), being a total of $90, if they renew they will pay $20 each race plus membership of $55, a total of $95. Therefore as long as a member plans on doing more than 2 of the 5 races they are better off renewing. If your membership expires after Nov 2011 you pay a reduced membership fee (approx 30% less ) as follows: $40 adult $60 family $22 junior There are 7 races between Dec - June 30, 2012. It is worth renewing if you plan to do at least two of the 7 races. Using the same example as above 2 x race entry fee would be $90 as opposed to membership of $40 plus $40 (2 x race entry), a total of $80 so still cheaper to be a member. This reduced membership fee will only be available this financial year, thereafter it will be an annual fee with no pro rata available. TRI VIC / TA MEMBERSHIP Just a reminder that Annual subscriptions are now due. Tri Vic/TA have introduced a rebate for clubs whose members are also members of Tri Vic/TA. The rebate is only available for a short time. If you are a member of Tri Vic/TA can you please update your profile on the website to include your TA membership number or alternatively email me your number ASAP. CLUB CLOTHING With the Shepparton half ironman fast approaching and a huge delegation representing our club, we are looking at placing an order for tri shorts ,tops, trisuits and club hoodies so everyone can be decked out in club gear at the race. Club clothing currently comes at a significant cost to the club and involves minimum order quantities from suppliers. In light of this we wish to obtain an expression of interest from members who may want to place an order. We are interested in which items you require and what size. This is not a final order, once we have an idea of the size and number of items required we will contact everyone who showed an expression of interest in order for them to confirm their interest and pre pay their order. Prices are expected to be in line with that currently detailed on the website +/- $5.00 per item. Price will be advised once we have an idea of the numbers. A sizing chart and pictures will be placed on the website for you to view in a couple of days. We will also have some sample sizes available at the club race on 7th August. We will be accepting registrations of interest up until Monday 15th August. Please complete the table below and email it to: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address): by Monday 15th August 2011. Alternatively return the completed form to Del at the club race on Sunday 7th August or reply to the noticeboard post. Name Mobile no Items required (detail size and quantity) Hoodies tri shorts tri top tri suit If you have any queries don’t hesitate to contact me.
