Is there a document that shows how much was raised last season in game fee and the number of games played by non-members?
Does the document break that down into the number of people playing 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 etc games?
I can't find any link to such a document from the ECF website, yet this information should be readily available to us so-called 'members'.
The August 2016 grading spreadsheet shows that 958 played 1, 2 or 3 games. If all those were non-members (the spreadsheet, unlike the website, does not show whether players are members) the ECF would have lost £4545 if the first 3 games were free of game fee.
I can understand the ECF wishing to recover that amount but I am struggling to see a justification for charging a flat rate of more than the cost of bronze membership for non-members who play more than 3 games. Does the ECF currently make a lot of money in game fee from non-members daft enough to play more than 6 games?
It does appear on the surface to be just a money grabbing exercise.
