| How does the club calculate the cost of weekly ice fees? A number of factors influence the cost, but for simplicity, a calculation which totals the cost of the hire of the ice and the coaching fees divided by the total number of players won't be far wrong. This means that some teams may pay enough in ice fees to cover costs but others may pay more in total. This process of equalising costs is felt to be fair and is also applied to the cost of travel to away games where each individual is required to pay the same amount for the same journey regardless of which team he is playing for. The club subsidises ice hire and away travel. |
| How much to managers get paid? what an embarrassing question to ask a manager! The answer is that they are not paid at all and nor are the club officials, with the exception of team coaches who receive an imbursement for training sessions and matches. It is worth remembering that many of our officials do not have youngsters in the club and are giving their time and efforts willingly to benefit those who do. The club is greatly indebted to all of our officials. |
| How effective is fund raising? Fund raising is vital to the finances of the club and all parents should consider whether they are taking their full share of the burden. The fund raising committee is always looking out for new members and new ideas. Parents who do not participate in the 'official' fund raising events sometimes have other activities and pass the proceeds on to the club. It is important to note that the fund raising committee raises what amounts to £60 per player. Without this the weekly ice fees would be around £12 per head. |
| Why can't our team raise money for themselves? As with ice fees, travel etc. it is the club's policy to try to ensure that all teams are treated fairly. at different age groups teams enjoy a varying support and the process of equalisation ensures that no team is unable to meet its commitment through lack of finance. Most other membership organisations work in this way. It is a tried an tested method which, in the long run, leads to less disputes about financial arrangements. The fund raising committee works for the benefit of all of the youngsters in the club. If you feel that you have fund raising talents, why not join the committee? |
