January 2004
Dear member,
It is the New Year and as such it is time to explain the changes to the membership for 2004. It has been decided that to ease the burden just after Christmas, membership of Thames Turbo Triathlon Club will run from 1st April 2004 to 1st April 2005. However, to bridge the gap between now and then it is important that a cheque for ₤50, for full members, is sent now, with your membership form to cover your membership until 1st April. For other members it should be ¼ of a year's membership (₤30 for juniors, ₤12 for associates). It is also worthwhile pointing out that this will also allow us to set up a way of creating standing orders so you can pay your membership fees monthly rather than by post dated cheque. It will still be possible to pay by post dated cheque as well. As always with changes to club procedure we value your feedback on the matter.
If you wish to set up a standing order for your membership fees, enclose the bridging fee and tick the box on the membership form. We will send you the forms to fill out with instructions. If you tick this box, you will be responsible for creating a standing order to run from 1st April 2004 to 1st April 2005, on a monthly basis, you will still need to enclose the one cheque for the early part of the year. The membership costs for seniors will not be changing, however Junior fees will have to increase to take into account the extra coaching which is being provided at the swimming sessions. There will still be a discount for multiple children from one family. All costs are listed on the membership forms. ¼ of this is due now, to cover costs until 1st April 2004.
Enclosed is a membership form, if you know your membership number from last year, there is no need to fill out all the details, just make it obvious that things have not changed, and I will make a new entry based on last years details, increasing your age as necessary. If things have changed, such as your name or address, or more commonly your mobile phone number, please fill out these sections and I will make the needed adjustments. You will still need to sign the form on the back and fill out the medical information if you want this. If you were not a member last year, then please fill out the entire form, including the waiver on the back.
Thank you for your time. If there are any questions or queries, please contact me on 020 8941 1615, or elly.challand@feltham.hounlsow.sch.uk
