Annual Membership Fees 2020-2021
Danny Dowling • September 15, 2020
Message from the Blackheath Squash Club Committee
The 2020/21 annual membership fees would normally start to become due from 1 October 2020 for members with a 1 October renewal date. In the light of the disruption caused by COVID-19 and the closure of the Club for 4 months the Club Committee has decided to give all members who were members during the closure a free 4 months membership for 2020/21. For example, members with a renewal date of 1 October 2020 will get free membership until 31 January 2021.
Members who have extended discounted memberships will get a free four month extension to their extended membership.
The full annual membership rates for senior members remains at £120 for peak membership and £48.50 for off-peak membership. Junior annual membership fees will increase from £10 to £15 for 2020/21 to reflect the £15 affiliation fees the Club pays to England Squash and Kent Squash for each junior member. The junior annual membership fee will increase to £20 for 2021/22 so the junior membership makes a contribution to the Club's finances.
After taking into account the 4 month free membership the annual membership fees due for 2020/21 for existing members with a renewal date of 1st October are as follows:
Senior peak - £80
Senior off-peak - £32
Junior - £10
The Club is offering a staggered discount for early payment on the above fees as follows:
- renew prior to annual renewal date - peak membership £60, off-peak £24, Junior £7.50;
- renew within one month after annual renewal date - peak membership £65, off-peak £26, junior £8
- renew within 2 months after annual renewal date - peak membership £70, off-peak £28, junior £8.75
- renew within 3 months of annual renewal date - peak membership £75, off-peak £30, junior £9
The closure of the Club during 2019/20 for 4 months and the current restricted play arrangements have had a significant negative impact on the Club's finances. We believe it is right to offer members the free membership period and the discounts above to reflect the disruption caused by COVID-19. However, If you would like to support your Club by making a voluntary donation you can do so via our LocalGiving page.
With Gift Aid we receive an extra 25p for every £1 pledged by you from HM Revenue & Customs. Thank you for your support!
The Club Membership Secretary will be in touch with members with 1 October renewal dates shortly.

Please make sure have non-m arking trainers and bring a racquet if you have one, if not we can loan you one for the session.
