With the success of our new system for collecting fees, the club has decided it will continue to collect fees in the same way this year. 

Simplistically each player will have a season's account which will build up week by week as they play. It is then the aim to circulate this spreadsheet to all playing members so they can see how their personal liability stands. You will also be able to see your fellow players standing so please feel free to 'manage' your fellow players on a weekend if they are a long way in arrears.

The aim is to create a simple system for collections which can be primarily cash free, although your captains will be happy to take cash on the day if this is what you prefer, and they will declare payment for you for that match. For non-cash transactions, electronic payments need to be made into the club's bank account, but please make sure you state your name and what the payment is for as there will be a lot of transactions to filter and poorly labelled payments may get missed. You can pay monthly amounts if this makes things easier than weekly, and if you wish payments can be made up front and will be credited to your account. We do not wish for accounts to accrue debts of longer than a month so prompt regular payments will be appreciated.

The workings of the account are as follows:

• Your account will accumulate costs through playing. Match fees as per the website - £9 for adults, £8 for juniors on Saturdays; £8 and £7 respectively for Sundays; £3 for Sunday Academy games. However there is a discounted Sunday rate of £5/player for anyone playing both Saturday and Sunday. Please note if your game is called of on a Saturday then the discount does not apply. Your account will also show your membership subscription liability and payments.
• You will receive credits to your account for providing teas and driving.  Please note no cash will change hands on a game day for teas or mileage due to there being no match fee cash about:
  • Teas are paid at £30/event;
  • Mileage will be paid as per the club policy. Mileage is only paid for journeys to venues that are further than 15 miles from Wamil Way.  For journeys further than 15 miles from Wamil Way, mileage is calculated as the distance from Wamil Way to the opposition's ground, at the rate of 15p/mile travelled:
    • If you travel alone, you will be reimbursed your actual mileage, at the rate of 15p/mile, up to a maximum of your match fee for that game (for example, a cap of £9 for a Saturday senior match);  
    • If you take one or more additional players then the 15p allowance counts for each mile driven.
    • As an example, a Saturday senior player taking themselves and an extra player to Halstead (70 miles round trip for this example) would receive reimbursement of 70x15p = £10.50. If the player only takes themselves, then it would be capped at their match fee of £9.
• We will be reliant on your match day captains to confirm who has provided teas and who has driven and with any passengers for a particular game. Any dispute over credits for a particular game will need to be taken up directly with your captain.
