All the budgets have been finalised and printed out. That s it, folks. Summer clubs such as cricket might have to look at last year s membership for guidance here. Underestimate the number of members and you ll have an inflated membership fee that might put off potential members from joining. You might also get far less than you ve asked for in your budget submission, since we re unlikely to dole out large amounts of money to clubs with very few members.
Miracles do happen.
If one of this year s budget categories has too much while another category is starved of funds then don t make the same mistake when preparing your budget submission for next year. Now you need to decide what you want the club to do next year. The list goes on forever and each club has their own set of requirements. Please don t make up budget categories out of thin air - just stick to the categories that you see on the budget sheet. Subsidies - lots of activities are subsidised to some degree.
