What about club fees?





Each club should decide what discount (if any) they
will give to members who join the scheme
Clubs will receive an up front credit of £7 per member
against the game fee portion of league fees
All games by members are game fee exempt saving the
club 45p per game ie £6.30 per team (refunded at end
of the season)
If a player plays for 2 teams, the saving is doubled!
LRCA encourages all clubs to pass the full saving on to
their members
What should our club do?
Case Study




A club have 3 teams in the league. They also have 2
in the Chapman Cup and 1 in the Harrod Cup. Their
players play some county and congress chess, and
they have a club championship.
The club has 15 active members and 3 occasional
players.
The 15 active players played between 8 and 36
games, with the average being 19.
League fees for 2006/7 would total £157, Summer
Cups would cost £19 and the Club Championship £6
– total £182.

What should our club do?







There is no right answer
What is for one club will not be right for another.
Each club and player must make their own decision based on
their own circumstances.
Many clubs will find that if all their active players join the
scheme it will cost around £2 extra per player.
This extra cost is likely to be saved in benefits received.
Players may want to pay the extra themselves to receive the
benefits of membership.
It is almost certain that every club will have some players who
would benefit financially by joining the scheme.
What Next?



We ask that you tell your club colleagues
about the sceme
We encourage clubs to give discounted
membership to members of the scheme
We hope that the reduce costs encourage
you and your colleagues to play more
competitive games !!
