Subscriptions and Match Fees 2008

At the 2008 AGM it was decided there would NOT be a raise in membership subscription fees. This is the eighth year this has remained unchanged. The match fees remain at £4.00 per Senior, and at £2.00 for Juniors/Students. It was noted at the AGM that these monies are essential to the club's well being - and members are urged to pay their subs at the earliest opportunity.

Full Senior Membership £50.00. For any player who expects to play more than 5 matches in a season.

Junior membership £20.00. (additional Juniors in same family at £10.00) Junior membership - persons under 18 on 1st March 2006 and bona fide students or Apprentices.

Playing Membership £10.00. Geared more to the occasional player. Their first 5 matches will require payment of £5.00 (£2.00 match Fee, £3.00 contribution to the membership). Match 6 requires full payment to full membership (£35 plus match fee), although it is hoped potential playing members will become full members.

Associate membership £10.00. Open to any non-playing person or cricket-lover who wants to be part of the Club. There are always plenty of ways to help out, even if it is only providing your support. This position carries all the same rights to committee posts within the Club.

Aberdeenshire Cricket Association AGM

The main topics that concern Stonehaven Thistle are that YET ANOTHER proposal to scrap the draw was defeated by 13 votes to 10. Another proposal to scrap the draw in rain affected matches was upheld.

Two new entrants to the Grades were accepted: those of a Gordonians 2nd XI and a Huntly 3rd XI in Grade 4. The repercussions mean that Ellon 2nd XI and AGSFP's 2nd XI join Methlick and Banchory in Grade 3; Stonehaven narrowly missing out on promotion. This leaves an almost unrecognisable Grade 4 and at least one long drive for Stoney 2nd XI. (Get used to playing on artificial wicket.)
