One point of clarification from the AGM last weekend. Our club is
affiliated with Queensland Athletics. This means that the club pays an
annual subscription to QA, currently $350, for a variety of benefits,
the most important one being Public Liability insurance. We cannot get
this insurance anywhere else at anywhere near the cost we pay QA. This
insurance protects the club, the committee and members against claims of
negligence.
Our annual club membership dues are $55 for a single person. This
includes an amount of $28 which the club remits to QA on behalf of the
member if the member completes the appropriate QA application form for
membership as an ex stadia athlete. This membership form is accessible
from the QA website which you can get to from our Links page at the CRR
website.
QA membership provides access to QA sanctioned events, eg state titles
for teams and individuals, as well as Personal Accident insurance for
members. CRR cannot advise you about this insurance, what it does or
does not cover nor any aspect of the policy. You have to make your own
enquiry and satisfy yourself that it suits your circumstances.
You can join CRR and not QA if you want to but the membership fee is
still the same. CRR also has a membership form which is accessible from
the CRR website. You need to fill this out and you’ll see it contains
the same information about the QA cover and what you can do if don’t
want to join QA.
The point I’d make is that membership works out at around $2 per week
per year. Show me one other activity where you can have as much fun as
we do for that sort of money!
