The prices for your juniors are one of the highest. Why? should the 1000's who pay decrease the costs. How do others clubs survive on $165 u/8's yearly fees for juniors?
That is a problem but keep the head in the sand

"Home Truths"???

New Lambton have never said that they were the cheapest, and acknowledge there are cheaper clubs in a close proximity!!? What arrogance about building the big club are you talking about? What the club has done is be very organised, led by a strong committee, with the whole focus on giving the members the best value for money experience that they can have. It has never been about wanting to be the biggest club, its all about providing a good experience for the kids. Th fact the junior club continued to grow this year, when participation numbers generally fell, despite having higher fees than most, shows that the community see the value that they get for those fees being acceptable.

The fees are broken down as part of the registration package so everyone knows where the money is going when they sign up. You don't have to agree with the size of the fee, but you equally dont have to play for the club and can go to the club that charges $165. Each to their own.
