Point Grey Soccer Early Bird Registration Reminder

Thu, 27 May 2010 16:59:53 -0700

Dear Club Members,

As Club President I am writing to remind everyone that the Early Bird registration deadline of May 31st is upon us. Early Bird registration saves you money reducing fees by $30 per registrant. It also helps the Club get organized for the coming season as Early Bird registration gives us a sense of player numbers for each age group and thus how many teams we will form for the fall.

Thank you to all of you who taken the time to contact me to ask questions and discuss our Club registration increases and changes. I have had many inquiries whether by email or at our recent AGM. The increases were driven by the substantially reduced Gaming Commission grant received in 2009 and the prospect, at the time of setting fees this year, that the grants would be eliminated entirely for 2010. Our fee increases resulted in a differential between our Club fees and our neighbouring clubs which has been frustrating for members. As I have explained to many of you, the difference is driven by one of our neighbours not having UBC turf costs and the Gaming Commission grants we received over the last four years being significantly lower than our other neighbour.

EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION OPEN FOR 2010-11 SEASON

Fri, 26 Mar 2010 08:43:21 -0700

Dear Members,

As your Club President, I want to make sure all the parents and families that make up our Club have the opportunity to take advantage of the savings available through Early Bird Registration for the 2010 – 2011 season (register before May 31st). You can register today at http://www.pointgreysoccer.ca/registration. Early registration not only provides you savings but also provides priority placement on Micro, Mini and Divisional Bronze teams.

In addition, I am taking this opportunity to provide you with an update on the Club’s fees for the coming season. As noted in my letter last fall, which you can access at http://www.pointgreysoccer.ca/node/640, the significant cuts to provincial Gaming Commission grants to community sports organizations greatly impacted our Club’s finances. Based on our size and activities, our Club expects to receive a grant between $70,000 and $100,000 each year. This past year PGSC received $15,000. We do not know whether we will receive any grant monies for the coming season.

In addition, BC Soccer Association, District and referee fees have been increased for the coming season. We estimate these fee increases will add approximately $14,000 to our expenses.
