Cavaliers Notice Board - Start of fencing year 2015

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful break!
This is just a reminder that Cavs is starting up again for the year - whoo hoo!  The start dates are as follows:
  • 2.00pm on Saturday, 31 January 2015 - general club sessions start (followed by 6.30pm on Wednesday, 4 February 2015).
  • 1.00pm the following Saturday, 7 February 2015: Bladez starts again / Development Squad starts again.
There are also a few changes coming up in 2015:

1. Fees:
Due to the increased costs of venue hire, we have had to increase our membership fees.  This is the first fee increase that we have had for a few years, and we are still pretty cheap for a sporting club (it still works out as less than $10 a week!).  For 2015, the fees will be:
Seniors (21 years and over): $370 for the year (with the option of paying in installments).
Juniors (13 to 20 years): $300.
Bladez (12 years and under): $240.
Equipment hire costs: Unchanged since 2014.


2. Development Squad:
In 2015, there will be a change to the way that the development squad will be run.  The development squad will now be open to all members (at no extra fee) who want to be more competitive.  The training will be just as gruelling as it has always been, but that's the way to get better.
Development squad will run from 1.00pm on Saturdays, starting on 7 February 2015.  Please come and see one of us for more details.

 Anyway, I look forward to seeing you all for another year!
