CRFNC - Change to How We Define Membership - Important
The CRFNC received advice in 2024 about the need for the Club Constitution to be updated in line with recent changes to Schedule 1 of the Associations Incorporation Act (NSW) 2009, the legislation the Club must abide by.
Changes to the Constitution were put to the 2024 Annual General Meeting and accepted.
Under these changes, the Club is now legally obligated to request payment (a financial transaction) for Club Membership and all officials, coaches, players and active volunteers must become Official Members of the Club to meet the requirements of our insurance.
Membership is individual. Each individual person must apply. All parents, supporters and others are, of course, invited, encouraged even, to become members of the Club as well.
As a result of this change, all player registration forms now include a payment for Membership as well as registration fees. Please keep in mind that the Board recognises that registration is a significant cost on families and has kept registration fees the same as previous years, despite rising costs.
Costs
Membership charges for 2025 are $3 for application / nomination and $2 for annual membership. Once you are a member, you only need to pay the annual renewal. So, for registration forms, an additional $5 is being charged this year.
Key Q&A
Why do we need membership?
To meet the legal obligations of the updated Act and to satisfy our Public Liability and associated insurance needs.
What are the benefits of membership?
As membership numbers increase, so too does our chances of attracting more grant funding as the funders can see the relevance of the Club to the community. Your Membership is an investment in your Club's future.
Is membership included in Sponsorship Packages?
No – Membership is individual. Each person must apply for Membership. Every membership application transaction must be for an individual person.
