[Sinbin] 2005 Dues

[JT]

Ouch!  I did not realize I had fallen so far that I am now used for guilt
inspiration for these sorry sacks of dog squeeze.  But I am always up for
challenge, so pay up lads or I am coming back out.
Cheers,
JT

  Subject: [Sinbin] 2005 Dues
  Guys,
  Just a heads up regarding High Country financials in 2005. We are making
some changes that will benefit us all and get the club back on a sound
financial footing. I am committed to cleaning up the financial side of the
club's business.
  We have a great shot at going much further in the playoffs this year if we
get our collective shit together - both on and off of the pitch. In order to
help fund the playoff trips, we need to ensure dues are paid and that we
manage our funds more like a business.
  The biggest change from the last couple of seasons is - if you don't pay
dues, you don't play. We will have a zero tolerance policy in place when it
comes to dues - the club cannot continue to function with a 60% collection
rate. We will play the guys who are actual members of the club - and you are
not a member if you don't pay dues. I know someone will test us on this -
and it will suck if you are that "A" side player who ends up running touch
judge while some old fuck like me or JT is playing in your spot...
  Details:
    a.. 2005 dues are $200 if paid during spring season (covers both spring
and fall seasons, shorts, socks and CIPP).
    b.. If you chose to pay by individual season, it will be $150 spring and
$75 in the fall ($225 total). Spring is the season we travel - therefore we
need more cash in spring.
    c.. First Spring Season players dues are $100 (includes shorts, socks
and CIPP).
    d.. We will institute a strict "NO PAY, NO PLAY" policy.
    e.. You must have paid 50% of your spring dues by the first match (Jan
29) to be eligible for "A" side selection.
    f.. You must have paid 100% of your spring dues by the fourth match
(Gades Feb 26th) to be eligible for "A" side selection.
    g.. I will send out a weekly statement that shows who is eligible for
"A" side selection.
    h.. Any exceptions to this policy (i.e. hardship cases) must be approved
by the President and the Treasurer (we will work with everyone to ensure you
have a fair opportunity to pay and play).
    i.. Old Boys dues are $50 per season and includes beer, food and lap
dances at all home "A" side matches (we will be including the Old Boys in
more club activities this year - we need you!).
    a.. I will have CIPP forms for you to fill out at the Jan 4th meeting
for you to fill out - the club will handle the rest.
    b.. I will need to know your waist size for the order of shorts.
    c.. I will be placing an order for kit bags, ball caps, wind shirts,
etc - I will need 50% cash up front for all orders. Details to follow.
  We will discuss the new policy in detail at our club meeting following the
first practice Jan 4th. BRING YOUR CHECK FOR $200 TO THE MEETING AND YOU
HAVE NO WORRIES FOR 2005!
   The beers on me for all who pay dues Jan 4th!
  Let's kick some ass this spring, there's only 32 more days until we open
the matrix at Columbus. If you're going to be a bear - BE A FUCKING GRIZZLY!
  Hipp
