CFC membership dues & rating fees

From comments received and personal observation, I see that we haven’t done a particularly good job at communicating our current membership fee structure. So, before the discussion goes any further on proposed changes, let’s be certain we all understand the current fee structure.

Annual Membership rates:
Province.......................... Adult Junior Jr Part.
..................................... $ $ $
British Columbia................. 48 27 15
Alberta............................ 41 27 13
Saskatchewan.................. 43 25 12
Manitoba......................... 53 34 15
Ontario........................... 43 27 14
Quebec........................... 36 24 12
New Brunswick................. 41 27 14
Nova Scotia..................... 43 27 15
Prince Edward Island.......... 36 24 12
Newfoundland & Labrador... 39 26 14
NWT, Yukon, Nunavut........ 36 24 12
USA............................... 36 24 12
CFC – federal portion......... 36 24 12

Family memberships are available for family members of adult members at 50% of adult rate for each family member.

Single tournament memberships – adult $ 10, Junior $ 5. Provincial portion of dues are $ 4 and $ 2 respectively.

Rating fees – $ 3 per player.

Junior tournaments – Where all players are juniors, membership dues are not required and rating fees are $ .50 per player.

This is the current fee structure and has been in effect for several years.

The motion passed at the AGM calls for changes effective January 1, 2009. As well, further proposals are being debated.

Next, I will see that this summary gets displayed on our website.

Bob suggested a comparison of fees might be helpful. Here is my attempt at it ( took me a while to figure out how to keep them in columns; noticed how Bob did it ). Let me know if there are any errors:
