Hall of Famer
We all pay the £4 entry fee and then there are optional 2 balls and sweep. Wouldn't want those to be taken out as a default.
Our Club has increased weekly fees this year by 33% from 3 to £4. Accept it is only £1 but the Club only pay out 80/85% in prizes the remainder being held back for engraving/ Guest Presentation Day speaker plus sundries. It was disappointing that there was no advice. The Club generates bar income from members which may be lost if they decide to go elsewhere.
What are your weekly fees and thoughts please?
Don’t play in the competition if you don’t like it…….
Still cheaper than a pint.
Competition fees are £4 + optional £1 2s sweep for most weekend comps (monthly medals are £5 + £1); entries are consistent at around 150-170 each weekend. There is a 20% rake into the "competition fund", which finances competition management (software, stationary, etc.), team entry fees (for leagues and county comps), trophies and honours boards, board/trophy winners invite to presentation day/evening, etc.
We’re 25% but this covers just admin, trophy engraving, boards updating and scratch representative teams (men’s women and junior) not ‘fun’ or friendly teams.Sorry to dig this up again..... however we are at 28% to cover all of these above + food costs for the Club teams.... Net, Scratch, Seniors, Rabbits & Mid-Handicap.
Just wondering if anyone is similar?
We don't cover food costs from the competition fund. Players pay match fees for that - commonly between £5 and £15 - it varies depending on team and what food is required.Sorry to dig this up again..... however we are at 28% to cover all of these above + food costs for the Club teams....
