our financials

Our youngest and oldest competitors hold the giant display cheques from Sport Oakville, demonstrating their support of our club programmes.

Unlike other clubs, who charge  a large fee up-front to cover items that members will probably never make use of, we charge a registration fee only large enough to cover basic operating cost, with a small surplus to build our Championships Fund.

This fund is used for athletes that have turned 17 and met standards for entry into a National Championship.  Three of those athletes are pictured below.

100% of the registration fees are used for the benefit of the members; no adults receive an "honourarium" for what they do, nor do they receive expenses other than those incurred on behalf of the members, such as equipment purchase.

All equipment for the various events is supplied by the club, at no charge to the member.

Upon becoming a Full-year member ($75), the athlete receives a club T-shirt at no charge.  If the athlete wishes to compete, a singlet will be provided on a loan basis, also at no charge.

If competitions concern Championships, the Association involved charges a fee based on the age of the athlete.  Meet entry fees range from a few dollars to $25 for Provincial Championships.  Because of the programme options, however, cost for involvement may range from a $25 seasonal membership to a few hundred, as opposed to the $1000-plus charged by others.
