President Roger advised that last year's members fees were not paid in a timely manner and requested that it is a member's responsibility to pay on time. President Roger proposed adopting a two tier system of game fees e.g. $60 for Tier 1 Clubs (Keysborough type) and $55 for Tier 2 Clubs (Churchill Waverley type). Cost of lunch only = $15 at all venues. Alan Millard proposed a motion that we adopt $60 for all games irrespective of Tier ranking. This would assist in minimising proposed deficit for 2021. Keeping it simple as suggested would provide additional income for the Club. A show of hands by members overwhelmingly approved that all game fees of $60 be adopted.
Moved: Alan Millard Seconded: Beverly Jenkin
