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.

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.

My local club with fed n rpra fee was £138
Think my mnfc fee was £75 with 4 futurity rings

RPRA £38
Club Subs £30
Fed Subs £25
Bowls club Subs £10
Rings 35p each

We pay £150 per year for use of a Porta cabin at a local social club.

I pay £15 club fee's.
Plus RPRA membership SW Region.
2 Gold rings £5 × 2 for ybs in the club racing from Ramsgate.
That's about it, only a small club training on a Wednesday race on a Sunday.

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.

I'm in two clubs,

The first one;

Club Fee £30
Fed Fee £15
Pickup £20
Social club £15
Secretary fee £5
RPRA Sub £38

Total £138

Second club
Club Fee £70
1st Fed Fee £20
Fed Upfront (Birdage) Fee £140
2nd Fed Fee £35
Total £265

How many birds do you get for that

I believe the social club is combined in that too!

That's 15 birds

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