North Dorset RFC

Dear Members,

With the implications of the most recent lockdown and the rugby season for 2020-21 now clear, we have reviewed how we deal with the membership fees for the season. Having reconciled our financial situation and the rugby activities the club is able to offer for the remainder of the season, we are now in a position to confirm our proposal.

To all those playing members, whether senior or junior, who have paid their membership for the year, we will be offering a partial refund of £20 for Seniors and Youth and £15 for Minis. We hope this will go a little way to compensate for the lack of competitive matches. This refund will be made back onto your club account, which can be used in the bar and shop for any future purchases. You will need to quote your membership number when you make your purchase.

We have asked all Team Managers to actively collect outstanding membership fees at a reduced rate from anyone who regularly attended training through the disrupted season. We believe that this is fantastic value given that we have still been able to offer 20 weeks of training this season and also taking into account all of the additional burden that COVID-19 has placed on the club. Please can I ask you to assist Team Managers in making payment for any outstanding membership as soon as possible. Rates will be updated on the website, so you will be able to make payment through the normal method.

We do have a few new starters who have joined us since the latest restart. We have agreed to reduce membership to £20 across the board for anyone who joins the club between now and the end of the season.

We will be contacting Vice Presidents separately regarding their membership.  

Kind Regards, 

Greg Pearce

Chairman
