Membership 2014 prices released

[eastsax]

Come on Danny, there's some valid questions posed here awaiting your enlightened and valued responses

[Perov]

maybe someone from Essex could expand on these great new benefits - aside from the now free yearbook (was £2) i cant see anything else

The year book cost £3, but overall disappointing to see a rise, and there may well be less free members car parking available in 2014, so it will cost more to follow Essex.
A price freeze would have been a  reasonable option.
I hope this rise is not to go towards for the proposed new £50,000 sightscreen (yes £50,000!) for the Hayes Close end.

There are no answers as they want the increases to stay put and not the ever paying members..

Thank you for posts...

For parking - news on this will follow asap, however we strongly expect parking to be available to Members on a first come, first served basis at the ground, similar to 2013. We will be speaking to the council as to available dates for Meteor Way in 2014 and will speak to council re park and ride potential discounts.

We have added value with FREE Yearbook (worth £3), a really enhanced voucher book with county wide usage. FREE car sticker to first 1,000 Members who renew / purchase.

We strongly believe the 2014 Membership offers very good value for money. Sunday LV= starts will allow working Members to attend

There will be additional guest tickets for LV= games, reduced priced tickets for guests for 50-over games, reduced priced t20 tickets with option to buy at that rate up until 1 week before game (subject to availability). £1 hot drinks and improved food options in Pavilion and around ground.

As always please direct questions to questions@essexcricket.org.uk

Thanks, Danny

Hmmm...underwhelming.

And for Life members?

Voucher books are no use to us out-of-county members; let's see something for people who rarely get to Chelmsford but watch away matches.

Life Members will receive a voucher book and all other benefits and further rewards,

Vouchers will be more spread out accross county, thanks Danny

Danny,

from a total "cricket game" point of view, we are paying more money for now for 2 one-days game less compared to last season.

We now just have 4 one day games included in the membership , wasn't too long ago we had 8 sunday games and 5 B&H games.

Just had a look around at other counties membership

Glamorgan - £139 including all 7 T20 games as well!
Notts - £156 also includes 7 T20 Games
Somerset £209 also includes 7 T20 Games

Although to be fair, none of those CC's have anywhere near the interest that T20 generates at Chelmsford. I don't think that you can blame Essex or maximising the revenue made from T20 and Members do benefit from reduced rates for those matches. Having said that, how many present Members go to T20 ? Certainly none of the regulars at CC matches and , as was , the 40 over games who I know.

Cashless, apparently the last time the option of an out-of-County membership was discussed, the (then) Treasurer and his advisors were of the opinion that hordes of us would find out-of-County friends and relations and book our membership from their addresses. Anyway, it would be difficult to administer!

Make of that what you will. I wonder how Middlesex check on the members who register from East Essex!

What happens with members who pay by direct debit? We pay on a set date, so don't have the option of renewing early. So any extra benefits for early renewal surely ought to go to all those who pay by direct debit, which saves the club money?

That question occurred to me as well. Rightly or wrongly I just assumed ... ?

I'd hope so, as if they've got any sense they ought to be incentivising DDR payment.
But I've given up assuming anything sensible where ECCC is concerned.

It's only a car sticker for goodness sake.
