Just wondering how much you all pay for your clubhouse fee/membership...
Just got a reminder for subs and although it goes towards a good cause, it seems to have gone up an awful lot over the last couple of years and it looks like we will be paying a levy to carry out renovations to the building as well as having a work party to carry out repairs to the roof over our part of the building.
Clubhouse fees.

We pay £10 a year each subscription to be members of our local crown green bowls club. We get cheaper drinks as members and electric is included.
We are expected to keep our 2 X buildings ( A portacabin and a container) in good and tidy condition.
The bowls club have a great group of retired skilled and willing volunteers who maintain the greens and grounds and machinery..
We always help out as and when needed if we can.
We are very fortunate to have a great HQ.

Yeh, club subs, rpra etc are all fees we have to pay.
Howevrr we have to pay an additional £27 each for the use of the facilities to a local club.
Considering only 2 years ago we paid a tenner each it seems to have gone up a lot and I just wanted something to compsre it to.
We have virtually been priced out of the car park because they want £80+ for a card to operate the barrier - the club has bought one.

Yeah, as long as I send at least 7 to each race I end up saving money Vs not paying upfront!
