Member Guide Line

Objective: To provide a recreation ground for students who are interested to play badminton and to improve members to be more skillful and competitive in playing badminton.

Budgets

Since fall 1997, the A.S. (Associated Student at Chico) has changed its policy for sports clubs at CSUC that no funding is allocated to any recreational sport club. The badminton club is currently for recreational purpose, there is no direct funding from the university. Thus for the survival of the badminton club, the club committee in this academic year, listed below, voted to charge each member with membership fee. Most of the birdies were passed on from last semester and unusable. As for the budget, the club needs to order a number of plastic birdies for this semester. Each tube (6 birdies) costs about $10. The club needs 12 tubes ($10 x 12 = $120). In addition, the club estimates approximately $30 for flyers, first-aid items, and miscellaneous expenses.

Plastic Birdies	$120
Others	$30
Total	$150

Membership Dues

Membership fee is $5 for the spring 2003 semester. Please sign up your name and contact information at the first time you come to visit the club; you must pay the membership fee to the treasurer (see below) at the second time you come to practice, if you are interested to join the club. The membership fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. Members are welcome to bring guests to the club; guests will follow the same payment rule as stated here. The club provides plastic birdies and rackets if you do not own yours. The badminton committee reserves the right to terminate a membership if the club member, who owns the membership, violates any CSU Chico University policy.
