Milltown/Castlemaine GAA Club Membership 2022
Membership Due
Membership fees for 2022 are now due and can be paid online by visiting https://member.clubforce.com/memberships_cart_m.asp?LL_ID=2602&intMF_ID=9476&fbclid=IwAR0TifngeTCFZ_TKbKjBeMj1nzJATqvxM-2B3q2-QmsZbn7sSyAVRWeV67I#Anchor. Club membership is open to Adult Players, Adult Non-Players, Juvenile Players and Families and New Members are always welcome.
The monies received is funnelled towards the maintenance of facilities, playing equipment, affiliation fees, insurance, utility bills, team preparation and other administrative costs. Our GAA Club is reliant on all members paying their subscriptions to cover these running costs as the GAA at Central Level (Croke Park) or County Level do not provide grants, finance, or assistance to cover these general running costs.
The membership fee rates for 2022, as set by the Club Executive, are detailed by clicking on the link above.
Why has the membership price increased?
Our membership rates have not increased in a couple of years, while in the interim, the running costs of the club have increased significantly on items like utility costs, affiliation and registration fees, referee fees, team preparation, equipment, and insurance, as part of the day-to-day running costs of the club. We are also conscious that further costs increases are extremely likely in 2022.
In addition, our club developments at Paddy Burke Memorial Park are continuing and we want to ensure as much of our fundraising activities goes towards the development rather than the day-to-day costs of running the club.
