WHAT DOES THE CLUB DO WITH MY MEMBERSHIP FEE?
The biggest outlay for the club is pitch bookings. We need to pay various councils to allow us to reserve spaces for training and for league games.
We also pay London Softball League a fee for each team we enter into the league, which also includes a Team Insurance Policy taken out by the British Softball Federation
Furthermore we pay for expert coaches to run training sessions for us, and we pay for training equipment, bases, match balls, and first aid kits.
As the social side is an important part of the the club's ethos, we also set aside a sum of money each year for our Start & End of Season Parties as well as a fee that allows us to participate in Pride in London.
Please note that a £5 fee (£2 for DH) is due for every league game you play in, and tournament fees are self-funded by each member paying for the tournaments they participate in.
