CRPC Newsletter April 2020

CRPC NEWSLETTER
April 14, 2020

During this COVID-19 problem, as you are all aware, the range facilities are closed, and as such, there is no one available in the Office to process membership renewals. Even though we are closed we still have operating costs, some are significant, like our insurance which cost us $6000.00 last year (June1) and we expect it will cost more this year (just 1 example).

Our club lives and dies on membership renewals, and if this situation continues for very much longer we will be in real trouble.

The Executive held a conference call meeting to discuss this situation, the following were the unanimous results;

• The renewal grace period will be extended from 2 week to 4 weeks. This means that if you renew within a maximum of 4 weeks after your membership has expired you will qualify for the $50.00 membership fee reduction.
  
  $400.00 becomes $350.00 (regular membership/family membership)
  $350.00 becomes $300.00 (senior membership for those over 65)
  Etc.

If your renewal was in early March and you are beyond the 4 weeks mentioned above, we will allow you to apply the $50.00.

• To be able to take renewal payments we are setting up an Electronic Funds Transfer process. This should be in place shortly. You will be advised when it is available as well as how to use it. Your Bank branch will be able to coach you through setting your end up.

• The Executive will extend current and renewing memberships renewal date out the far end by however long we are closed (with no further changes to membership fees), up to a maximum of 3 months. The club cannot afford to go any further at this point, as this will cause significant cashflow issues in 2021.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will advise if and when anything occurs which changes our situation.

Stay Healthy.
