Dear Members
Welcome to your new subscription year 2023/24, hopefully you will have now enrolled onto the appropriate category provided by the club or intend to do so soon.
Any difficulty with your subscription please contact Richard Lathbury Membership Secretary via My Courts system.
There will be a cut off period for all subscriptions to be submitted to enable the committee to provide you with an analysis of BTSC Memberships, but for now please see below the breakdown of the Free Membership category.
To make you aware the Bonded category was established in previous years when the club required extra financial input from its members, it is however important to note this figure was much greater back then but over the years many of those members are now deceased. Regarding the figure shown in this category, I can confirm out of that group there are only three members that are actively attending the club. This is a contracted agreed Bond that cannot be waivered. Should you require further explanation re this category please drop your name on a card into the suggestion box on the bar.
Life Members - this category contains 5 long standing members of the club for their outstanding contribution to either the running of the club on the committee for many years or services to the club, the award has been given by the incumbent committee at that time over the years. Should you wish to know the names of the members within the category please place your name on a card and pop into the suggestion box.
Coaches, book keeper and My Courts admin are listed as free members purely for administration and communication purposes.
The Commitee category has elected members each year at the Annual General Meeting that serve a role in different aspects of the club, this is a democratic vote and all members are encouraged to stand with appropriate skills and knowledge for that role, and are voted in by the club membership. Those positions are:-
Chair and Treasurer (currently shared role by one person)
Vice Chair
Safeguarding Officer
Social Team
Bar Secretary
Grounds and Premises Secretary
Membership Secretary
General Secretary
Marketing Secretary
The Bar category represents the members who give up their time to serve the membership refreshments and as the club revenue is integral to our funding source, this free membership helps us to cut costs instead of paid bar staff even at minimum wage, it also ensures your club has a social environment.
Sports Captains - similar to the Committee much work is conducted behind the scenes arranging leagues/court bookings for matches and both deliver a report at the Annual General Meeting.
We have had a few members from the social category approach committee officers and offer the club nominal donations to ensure they continue to be involved with the club and receive correspondance, anyone that subscribed previously to the social category please contact the membership secretary to discuss this. Your donation will allow you to recive an entry card for social purposes only. This category was erased as it could not be policed and as a social environment we encourage members to bring friends and family.
Finally polite request all suggestions from members going forward should have a name attached to ensure the committee can respond appropriately, this name as previous will not be shared with the membership but allows us to have direct contact with the said person.
In anticipation of a great membership year, thank you for your continued support, and a special thank you to those members who have made time to speak with committee members over the last week in appreciation of the way the club is managed.
Regards
Heather Green (Acting Chair)
on behalf of the Committee
