TRAINING FEES: Payable in advance for each quarter.  Payments should be done before the 7th day of the first month of the quarter. Members may also make payments in advance through monthly instalments.  Negligence to pay in this way, the amount due will be claimable and the guardian will be held responsible for any legal fees deriving from such a case.  Members can and will be excluded from competitions and/or practice sessions if their fees are still due on the return date.  Fees are payable for the quarters in the financial year as follows: January till March, April till June, July till September, October till December. Class fees are payable for a place in the class and not towards a specific coach.

COMPETITION FEES: All competition entry fees must be paid before the relevant event’s closing date.  Any entry fees for events are also non-refundable.
