Sub Collections, Renewals & Membership
? 23-24 squash membership year closed with subscription revenues of £83,364 (£82,746 for previous year)
? 33% growth in annual payers & 41% decline in monthly payers
? All members that have not renewed have been deactivated from the MyCourts system
? New Under-25 membership category has its first member and we have two members taking advantage of the lower priced Student membership
? Introduction of Stripe for annual payment has coincided with sharp drop in members paying monthly. No clear reason why this has happened.
? For 24-25 we will continue to look at how we can simplify the subscription collection process, as well as potentially introduce new payment plan options.
? We will survey the members before making any further changes.
? Membership payments no longer taken at the Bar
