Short News Items
Contamination of the water supply across parts of N-Wales means
that for the next few weeks you need to boil all your drinking
water at Tyn-Lon
John Cole
is preparing a club magazine for 2006. He needs input! If anyone
has any articles from the earlier days of the Ceunant, they may
be useful, & of course anything else that may be of interest.
Membership Fees
For
several years we've managed to maintain out membership fees at
£15 per year. However, in light of a financial shortfall in 2004
and the realisation that we are becoming increasingly dependent
upon revenue from outside bookings at Tyn-Lon, a review of all
our fees was needed. Earlier in the year we raised hut fees to
both members & outside bookings to what was felt to be a more
realistic rate. We also recognised the need to increase our
annual membership fees for 2006. For the financially minded,
based on our forecasted expenditure this breaks down
approximately as:
Per member (130)
Meets & Functions:
£9.50
BMC Affiliation:
£8.12
Stationary & Admin:
£3.38
Subsidy from Tyn-Lon:
(£1.00)
Annual Membership Fee: £20.00
The new
fee of £20 is due on 1st January. Please pay promptly & and a
reminder to amend your standing orders.
As a
reminder Tyn-Lon fees are:
Members:
£3.00
Guests:
£6.00
Outside Bookings: £8.00
Annual Dinner
The 2006 Annual Dinner will
be held on Saturday 18th March at the Royal Victoria Hotel,
Llanberis. Dinner will be at 7:00 for 7:30 with a live band to
follow. The dress theme this year is “Black Tie” and “Posh
Frocks”, either way round it’s up to you! The AGM will be held
at Tyn-Lon 3pm on Saturday afternoon.
