CLUB MEMBERSHIP
The Club operates two levels of charges (detailed below) and collects fees to help run the club, and, on behalf of both the Swansea and District Table Tennis League and the Table Tennis Association of Wales; these are also detailed below. A fuller explanation of these fees can be obtained from any Committee member when you attend a club session.
The first charge is an Annual Membership charge. This has been set for June 2005 to May 2006 as:-
|
|
Non members/visitors/members of the public are allowed to attend 2 club sessions without committing themselves to joining the Club. The intention is to allow any visiting player to experience either table tennis for the first time or for experienced players to see how our Club works before deciding to join. However, all players are still expected to pay for the time that they play during a Club session (that is, pay the hourly charge).
The second charge is therefore a hourly charge that all players (members and non members) pay whilst they are at the Club session.

SWANSEA LEAGUE TEAM FEES AND MEMBERSHIP
The Club has entered teams into the Swansea and District Table Tennis League since 1988. This season Carmarthen have entered 6 teams. Following a Sponsorship deal with a local insurance brokerage the names of the Teams will be OLD OAK INSURANCE "A", "B" etc.
Venue costs for teams playing "out of the Lesiure Centre" are shared between all those teams on an equal bais and then sub-devided/shared between the numbers of players in each of those teams - this makes for fair cost to each player. However, as with all extra play there are additional costs to be incurred. For a League Player playing for an OLD OAK INSURANCE team during the Season 2005/2006, these are:-
Players who may wish to play in the Premier Division of the Swansea League should note that all matches are played in a central venue in Morriston, Swansea. This will mean that the room rent and travel cost will be different for these players. For Season 2005/2006 Carmarthen/Old Oak Insurance will have 2 teams playing in this division; it is expected that the players in these teams will incure costs of:-
TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP OF WALES Players who wish to play in the Team Championship of Wales (see also TEAMS) for a Carmarthen/Old Oak Insurance team will incure the following costs:-
Note. Players MUST be FULL members of the Club and TTAW, and have a current players licence (all detailed above). In addition, the cost of travel to these matches (four during the season) is shared by all players attending that match. This amount can not be estimated as the venues can be in both North and South Wales. Most are played in the Welsh Institute for Sport, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff. Other cost incurred include a bat of sufficient quality that it will do justice to your style of play and a team shirt. Joe, Stan and Vince all have a variety of suppliers catalogues available should you wish to purchase a new or replacement bat. Team shirts can be purchased via Stan.
