This email details what you need to do to sign up as a playing member and how to pay your annual subscription & match fees for 2016/17. You can do this NOW…

***A separate email has been sent to parents of those playing for juniors (u8/10/12s)***

Membership sign up/payment is a THREE stage process, so please follow each step:

1. Visit www.wottonhockeyclub.org and either ‘join’ the website (if you have not already become a member of the website) OR if you are already a member of the website log in. Once you have logged in please go to your account settings and add/update as much detail as prompted e.g. email address, telephone number etc. This information will help us considerably in organising the club. This information will not be shared and is not visible to anyone else but yourself and senior management. NB - Please check your settings to ensure you are set up to receive emails and messages from us.

2. Click on ‘Payments’ and purchase the relevant Annual Membership product; then

3. Click again on ‘Payments’ and purchase the relevant Monthly Match fees product
(if you are a full time student regularly playing for a senior XI then select ‘Monthly Student Match Fees’)

By clicking on the relevant ‘Monthly Match fees’ product on the payments tab, the website will deduct 6 x monthly payments for match fees from your bank account (e.g. 1 Oct – 1 Mar). This is the default option for paying match fees this season. Less admin burden on us all. We will rebate any matches that you don’t play in at the end of the season.

The website will only allow you to become a stand-alone club member if you are 14 and over. If you are a vixen or badger under 14 please ask your parent to join the website as a club member and we will email them with further instructions of how to pay. The club website uses a payment system called Gocardless. If you would like any further information about this secure payment method please see the link https://gocardless.com/faq/customers

All annual subscriptions need to be paid by the end of September.

As discussed at the AGM and agreed at the recent EGM, there is a small rise in fees this year (all of these payments are taken via electronic payment as above)
• Senior membership: Annual Sub £110, Match fees £7
• Student/Unwaged/U18 playing senior hockey: Annual Sub £85, Match fees £5
• Vixens and Badgers: Annual Sub £85, Match fees £4
Any questions or problems contact a member of the committee.

For those families who have several (and several generations of!) playing members, there are also the following ‘family membership’ discounted annual subscription products– you will still need to purchase the correct monthly payment product, where relevant.
• 3 x juniors/students £225
• 1 adult & 2 children £245
• 2 adults & 2 children £340

The club is committed to inclusivity in sport, so in any genuine cases of financial hardship alternative arrangements will be considered. Please contact a member of the committee in confidence.

Thanks
