Notice of Subs Increase 2023

Post by Lindsay M »

Unfortunately we will be raising the LMC subs price to £27 per person, effective 1st January 2023. I've put some details below as to why this was necessary, but we hope that everyone will agree that even at the new price, LMC membership remains an absolute bargain

Why?
The BMC announced in late 2021 that they would start raising their subs annually according to RPI, starting in April 2022. As many members pay in the first quarter of the year, the committee decided the club could absorb this cost in 2022. At the AGM held in January 2022, the committee asked for members' permission to raise subs in 2023 to cover the increase and the motion was passed. The committee also asked that this could be done annually without requiring a vote at the AGM as long as the increase only covered the BMC increase in subs. It was agreed that this was also acceptable, with a view to retain the LMC subs at BMC subs + £4.75.

Supporting information
The BMC statement for 2023 is here https://www.thebmc.co.uk/bmc-membership-fees-2023
This shows that club membership with be £22.25
After adding the LMC subs of £4.75, we arrived at the figure of £27

The minutes of the AGM can be found here: viewtopic.php?t=6252

New Members
Any provisional members who have never before paid subs can pay any time from 01 Oct-31 Dec 2022 at the current price of £25 and will get membership through to 31 December 2023 - Bargain!

Shortly! I’ll make a proper post once the PayPal button is updated, otherwise it keys to paying the old fees, but we’ve put them up in line with the BMC increase to £28.65
