Helping our club run smoothly

 

It takes a village.. (and no, not the cricket)

We all need to do our part to help keep Meraloma Cricket Club what it is today. That could include supporting other teams at the club, turning up to practice or simply having a beer at the club bar. Outlined below though are a few of our must do’s to help the club be successful.

  1. #getaroundem - support and respect your fellow team and club mates!

  2. Pay your dues (more information below on this)

  3. Complete your umpiring assignment! It is required that all senior men members perform one Meraloma umpiring assignment during the season. Umpiring assignments will be assigned to players by the elected umpiring coordinator. If the player is unavailable for their umpiring assignment, it is their responsibility to work with the coordinator to either swap assignments or organize a replacement (this typically involves paying another member to complete the assignment). The club is fined for missed umpiring assignments and players who are unresponsive or do not make their assignments will be asked to explain their reasons to the committee.

Dues for 2025

Club Membership Fee: $250

The Club Membership Fee is required to join the cricket section of the Meraloma Club. The Club Membership Fee entitles you to attend training, be eligible for selection and access the Clubhouse.

Match Fee Deposit: $250

The match fee is $25 per game. For each game that a member is selected for $25 will be deducted from the Match Fee Deposit up to a maximum of ten games. If a member has not been selected for ten games during the season the remainder of the Match Fee Deposit will be returned to the member by the end of September.

Amount Payable

Both the Club Membership Fee and the Match Fee Deposit must be paid prior to a player being selected for matches.

Due Dates and Selection

Members who have not paid at least part of their full dues balance by the end of week 2 (Tuesday 7th May) of the BCMCL season will not be considered for selection from week 3.

These members will again be available for selection once their full dues balance payment is made. Part payment plans can be agreed with the President or Treasurer, however unless agreed, it is expected that full membership payments are made.

Financial Hardship

Players who may be experiencing financial hardship are encouraged to talk with either the club president or treasurer as deferral, payment plans and alternate options can be discussed.

Players who may be experiencing financial hardship, but don’t discuss with the club, will owe full dues and could have their names added to the outstanding dues list at the end of the season.
