The recent rises in the cost of living have affected us all and TDCC is not immune from these. The club has faced significant cost increases during the past two seasons and this trend is expected to continue. We have been hit by increases across all areas (ie in utility bills, insurance, fuel & ground maintenance costs, cricket balls, bar costs etc). It is a sad fact that the club ended up making a small trading loss in the last financial year.

The club committee are all committed to ensuring that the club spends within its means and, as a minimum requirement, breaks even each year. If we do make any surplus that is to be ploughed back into the club for the benefit of all members. Feedback from the Club Development Plan project has made it clear that many members expect further investment to be made into the club. We are generally reluctant to raise prices and last season (2024) membership subscriptions were held at 2023 rates. Sadly, we simply cannot afford to take that position this year and must increase annual membership fees to the following rates in 2025:

• Senior Men (over 18) - £90
• Senior Women (over 18) - £75
• Junior - £75
• Under 11 Coaching Course - £75
• Women’s Softball - £50
• Senior Cricket Part Year (ie Uni students) - £50
• Social Member - £30
• Honorary Life Member - £0

Membership fees are now due. All payment categories are listed in Pitchero Shop.

1. Full Payment should be made before the end of April ‘25
2. 3 x instalment payment options (in April, May & June ‘25) are offered to all Senior Men/Women and Junior playing members
3. All other categories are to be paid in full
4. Any exceptional payment requests should be raised with the Treasurer
5. Any additional purchases such as kit or indoor training are to be charged separately
