Evening everyone

I just wanted to update you following our AGM. We have had to take the difficult decision to increase our monthly membership fees. This is due to a number of reasons, the main concern being that the council have advised us they will be increasing the fees we are charged for the use of the pool.

Due to this, to ensure the continuity of the club we will be increasing the monthly cost by an average of 5%. This is the first increase to club fees for 2 years, which we hope you will all understand, without it the small increase will leave the club vulnerable, and at risk.

The increase will mean that the full membership will be £38 per month (£2 increase on previous years fees). Other memberships will also have a small increase which you will be advised of via email. The email will also require that you re-register with the club, but don’t worry all the information you will need to provide with instructions will all be contained in the email.

We also have some exciting news and plans for you all which we will update you with during October, and also with our newsletter which will be out this month.

If you have any concerns or questions please don’t hesitate to contact me at chair@wiganswimmingclub.org.uk and I’ll do my best clear up any issues.

Thanks again for all your continued support for our amazing club.
