IES Membership & Playing Costs 2011/12 (Last updated: 18th June 2011)
(Fees for 2011/2012 are listed below. These are subject to variation by the Club Committee, in the event of factors beyond the control of the Club).
Full annual senior playing membership (2011/2012), effective from 1st September 2011, is £76.00 (men) and £76.00 (ladies) with juniors (i.e. those in full time education or under-18 on 31/12/10) at £38.00.
A Membership Form for 2011/2012 may be downloaded from here.
There is also a Saturday match fee of £8.00 (senior men), £8.00 (senior ladies), £5.00 (junior men) or £5.00 (junior ladies) which is set to include about 25 mid-week training sessions, club costs, match balls and teas at home or travelling when away from home (for all league and friendly games). This represents outstanding value for a good day out, including a game of hockey, on Saturdays during the winter months and membership of RSC*.
Non-Saturday playing associate membership [ie, non-participation in the main Saturday match programme, (which, we regret, is non-voting and non inclusive of membership of RSC*) is also available at £15.00 (men or ladies)].
Other participation fees for 11/12 include:
- Midweek evening Mixed Hockey Match Fee* at cost (about £3.50 for seniors, depends on squad sizes and needs to break even, so the Captain has some flexibility in order to meet the target)
- 1 day Mixed or Men’s / Ladies Tournament Fee* £5.00
- Training Fee* (non S/M or Full member) £2.00
- Monday evening Rushmere (Suffolk Indoor Leagues or Summer social sport) fee* £4.50 per 2-game evening session (or £2.25 per game)
- Summer evening Match Fee* £5.00 (with Captain's discretion to vary, in order to meet the target)
- Sunday/National Competition Match Fee £5.00 (Ladies, £4.50)
- 1-off or ad-hoc midweek games - at shared cost
* All juniors to be charged 1/2 senior fee, except for Mixed Juniors fee to be £1.50
Please note - all members, both 'current' and 'new' are obligated to play in an official Club Red Shirt for season 2011/12. Current members should own one. New members are obliged to buy one and should regard the purchase as essentially being the Club's 'joining fee'. Items of other official club playing kit are available. A link is due to be provided to the web site of the Club's main supplier, Touchline Group, for individual purchase of official kit. Watch this space for details in due course! The Club accrues discounts from Touchline over a period of time, which depend on the overall value of such purchases.
New/replacement/additional Red shirts are priced at £24 and may be purchased by calling David Taylor on 01473-715553.
All payments to the Club for playing kit, subscriptions etc, should be made by cheque payable to 'Ipswich-East Suffolk Hockey Club'.
The Club also welcomes non-playing members as Social Associates (non-voting & non-RSC membership) at an annual subscription of £9.00.
* Full Senior or junior Membership of the Hockey Club includes full membership of Rushmere Sports Club Ltd (Tel 01473-272525). This Sports Club is run by the Managing Director, Mr Peter Elsom, the Manager, Mr Roger Osborne and the Office Manger, Mrs Avril Adams, as a progressive concern aiming to provide the infrastructure for a number of 'Associate Member Clubs' (which includes Ipswich - East Suffolk H.C. together with football, badminton, netball, tennis and other clubs). Members may hire snooker, bar pool, gymnasium, sports hall and other facilities at advantageous rates. There is (usually) ample free car parking at the Club, as an additional benefit for members.
Rushmere Sports Club may have a change of ownership in 2011/12 period but this should not have an adverse impact on IES HC activities.
