VALLEY FIGURE SKATING SPRING CONTRACT

MARCH 8 – JUNE 10, 2010

 

 

 

v     Reminder: You may not register for the Spring ice contract, test, or compete until all previous balances have been paid in full and your membership has been paid.

v     Contract & Payment is due March 1, 2010.  Debbie McCarthy is now handling the ice contracts and the sign-in sheets.  Please make sure to send contracts and payments to her at the address shown on the contract. 

v     Due to high demand for some ice sessions, all contracts will be date stamped when received.  Contracted spots for each session will be given to the first 23 contracts received by the due date.  If more than 23 contracts are received on the same dates, priority will be then given to those who pay the entire contract in full.  Beyond these criteria, the Board reserves the right to allocate contracted spots for each session at their discretion.

v     Please read the contract carefully so that you sign up for all of the sessions you want.

 

Each skater must decide whether to contract on a Per-Minute (PM) basis or on an Unlimited (UL) basis.  YOU MUST CONTRACT FOR ONLY ONE OPTION FOR THE ENTIRE CONTRACT PERIOD MARCH 8 – JUNE 10, 2010.   

 

Per Minute (PM) Contracted Skaters:

 

1.  Cost is $0.28 per minute (this has not changed).  

 

2.  Walk-on Policy (this has not changed):  Per Minute Contracted skaters will be charged walk-on ice fees to their account for any ice used which is not contracted or make-up.  Skaters must sign the attendance book as a “charge” or “check” (including check number).  Please don’t use abbreviations for check or charge. 

Any member with unpaid accounts must pay cash.  Deposit checks and cash in the lock box in the skating office.  Guest skaters are required to pay before taking the ice and must be USFS members.  Walk-on fees are $3.00 more than the contract fee.

 

3.  Make-up/Refunds (This has changed):  Make-up ice is available for all absences; however, the date of absence must be marked in the book at the time of make-up.  If no date is indicated you will be charged a walk-on fee.  Skaters may sign-up for make-up in advance.  All make-up dates must be used in the current contract period and not carried forward.  This is a binding contract for the entire contract period. It has always been the policy of the Valley Figure Skating Club, Inc. that there will be NO REFUNDS given for any ice contracts submitted, except for cases of prolonged illness or injury. In the case of prolonged illness or injury, all requests for refunds or credits must be submitted in writing to a board member. These requests will be considered by the board on a case by case basis at the next scheduled board meeting.

 

Unlimited (UL) Contracted Skaters:

 

1.  This Option is only available to FULL members of the Valley Figure Skating Club who are in good standing and have no outstanding balances due to the club.

 

  1. Cost is $185 per month for the Spring contract.  This will be pro-rated for partial months at the board’s discretion.

 

  1. In order to manage the number of skaters on a session of ice, each UL skater must sign up for the contract sessions that they feel they will be attending regularly (please DO NOT sign up for all sessions unless you intend on skating ALL sessions).  Please sign up by placing a check mark in the last column of the contract next to the sessions you will be skating.

 

  1. No Walk-on fees will be charged.  However, if you skate on a session that you did not sign up for, you will be allowed on the ice on a first come-first serve basis AFTER all other contracted skaters are checked in.

 

  1. Make-up ice will not be tracked for UL contracted skaters.  You may skate on any session of ice; however, if you skate on a session that you did not sign up for, you will be allowed on the ice on a first come-first serve basis AFTER all other contracted skaters are checked in.
