| The aim of the beginner's course is to generate members. The structure is to be designed to lead towards the beginner achieving BFA Grade 1 Award. | ||
| General agreement was that 8 weeks would be sufficient for the course. | ||
| The new course (due to start 28/04/2005) has already been agreed as being 10 weeks. The new structure will come into force from the next course. | ||
| It was agreed that we should encourage members to gain coaching qualifications. | ||
| It was agreed that we should contact Jonathon Katz to see if he will run a coaching course for the club. When we have a price we will discuss whether the club will partially fund this. | JN | 18/08/2005 |
| BFA have confirmed that a club leader can take a beginner's course without the supervision of a qualified coach. | ||
All of the club leaders & committee members will be approached to see if they would be prepared to be involved in buddying:
|
||
| Fees & Fee Structure | ||
| It was unanimously agreed that the club would pay the cost of the venue during the summer. Members will not be asked to pay any extra between July & September 2005. We would make sure that the members are aware that we are doing this. | ||
| If members (including beginners) join part way through the year the fee payable will be calculated on a pro-rata basis. Currently as the annual fee is £120, e.g. someone joining in June would pay for June, July & August, i.e. £30. | ||
| If someone wishes to pay in instalments they may pay in 2 x 6 monthly instalments. Other terms may be agreed by special arrangement with the Treasurer. | ||
| Age Limits | ||
|
Children under the age of 9 cannot fence. Children between the age of 9 & 11 may join the beginner's course only if their parent or guardian also fences. Children between the age of 11 and 16 must have a parent or guardian present whilst fencing. |
