3rd Level Student £10.00

A playing membership is still £60 in our club.
A juvenile pays £5
A non playing full membership is £25 I think

That includes insurance and free hurls for all the teams

We also run a monthly 'club Ballygalget' £5/£10 subscription which does into development. 10% of the takings are put back into a monthly draw for all subscribers.

I will add to this post and ask what do you get for this membership? Apart from the obvious of being a registered member and the perks for players, what does a ordinary member get for their money? Some of them prices seem wild steep to me in the current climate. I think around £25 is fair enough

1st choice for tickets is one with us anyway, not sure what else!

Do you really expect to get a return for your money?  As an amateur association the money has to come from somewhere.  I don't buy that you have to get a hard return - it's not a personal investment, it's a privilige.

There might some ideas on how to sell/promot/collect membership for some registrars in here!

Even at the low cost, our membership is still not what it should be and has been particularly disappointing from adult players of late! Players should at a minimum pay the cost of the affiliation and if they don't pay then they don't play!

As I understand it, Vincents in Dublin is about €150 for a playing member and they enforce the don't pay don't play (so I was advised by and ex Vinnie, open to correction on this one)

Bolt on options>> Add on £75 which gets you free access to ACL games and lotto for the year. Or add on £45 which gets you free lotto for the year!

Rois your are missing the point i am making. I couldn't care less what i get for my membership as it is my club and i will contribute to everything that is run in it. The point i am making is with such a fluctuation in clubs around the country are the clubs with the higher memberships offering anything extra to justify the difference ? simple as that

our membership, senior players and non players is £120 for the year!!!

Has went up from £5 a month to £10 a month. Success and running hurling, football, ladies, and all our juvenile teams has meant that the money needs to be brought in.
