My role as treasurer is a great challenge to have keeping control of the funds, ensuring everything is paid for when it should be and being able to quickly buy treats for the club when appropriate. I have immense fun buying prizes for the annual raffle every year. Its like a shopping spree where the tat I buy doesn’t fill up my house for every and every,
One big challenge however is the membership fees and controlling the cash that comes in. This is mainly an issue for if I’m not personally at the club but also an issue for the amount of cash I have to lug around and eventually drop off at the bank.
It has been agreed that we are going to move to a mainly cashless club. Fees weekly will have to be paid either by PayPal, by bank transfer (see Ian if you wish to use this option) or by the brand new Payment Card that we are bringing in.
This idea has been requested for a while and now we have brought it together, The card will cost £40 and gives you 11 sessions (so 1 free) however there are some rules regarding this which must be followed:
- You must bring the card with you to the club on the night you bring want to redeem a session. This will be stamped as we go around checking club fee’s have been paid.
- If you do not bring the card you will have to pay for that week. There is to be no ‘Ill bring it next time ‘ as we can not keep track of this.
- Unfortunately if you loose it there’s nothing we can do. Again we can not keep track of peoples cards and where they are up to on the stamping.
- The card can be paid for via cash (correct amount) or PayPal.
- We will stop taking weekly cash payments for the fee as of the start of April 2024.
The cards are on their way and once setup we will let you know. To buy a card please see a myself or Paul who will issue you a card. This will be signed and dated on the reverse.
In regards to paying by PayPal please can you pay as soon as your sorted for a game on the night so when we come round we are just checking your payment not waiting for you to complete it.
Thank you for your help on this and helping me move away from cash.
