Fees

CLEFHANGERS CONCERT BAND

13th March 2002.

Policy Notes / Objectives:

a.. Fees are calculated based on all members attending & paying 100% of the time. Should members not attend & not pay fees then that lost revenue may have to be generated by increased fees or levies as our costs are fixed regardless of the number of members attending.

b.. Fees are structured to encourage minimal absenteeism & a fair distribution of the band running costs to all members.

c.. Fees are structured to maintain strong cash in flow at term commencement so we always have sufficient funds to pay our way.

d.. Fees per term have been averaged over the whole year to simplify collection & insure good cash reserves even for short terms.
