Membership Renewal for 2024 -  A Message from Alan Cooke - Treasurer

Please note that 2024 will be in the same vein as recent previous years.

We will be asking 'Full Members' to nominate any member of their family (spouse & children under 18) whom they want to be included as 'active' Club members who will also attend working parties and perform Club Rescue duties etc..   

• This is in response to an HMRC clampdown on clubs abusing their status as Community Amateur Sports Clubs.
  

• We benefit from CASC status by receiving 80% off our Business Rates.
  

• In order to maintain this position, we need to demonstrate that more than 50% of our "members" participate in the sport 12 or more times in the year.
  

• HMRC have stated that where Full Membership can be extended to all the family then they will include by default all members of the family in their base count of "members" including babes-in-arms and spouses who only attend a few events a year - unless it is specifically stated clearly who should be included.  
  

By taking this action we will ensure that the membership count and analysis will be relevant to our real activity.

Any family members who aren't nominated can, of course, be signed in as guests as required (or upgraded to "members" during the year if they become active participants at no additional cost).
