1. TRAINING FEES: All Class Fees should be paid in advance. The Termly Plan is payable before the 7th day of each term, whereas the 10-Monthly Plan is payable before the 7th day of each month. Negligence to pay in this way, the amount due will be claimable and the guardian will be held responsible for any legal fees deriving from such a case. Members can and will be excluded from competitions and/or practice sessions if their fees are still due on the return date. Fees are payable for the following terms in the financial year: January till March, April till June, July till September, October till December. The 10-Monthly Fees are payable in 10 equal monthly instalments from February till November. Fees are for class placement only and do not guarantee a specific coach.
