Saw on another thread (affiliation fees) that there is a proposed change of ownership for Canterbury United. Is there any information publicly available on this? If not, what’s the drill?
I'm not aware of any publicity about this (on purpose?), but all Christchurch clubs know of the Special GM to be held on 30 January 2019 to decide this. Summarised details are:
Remit 1 - "In line with the Mainland Football Game Delivery Model that has been developed and in circulation for the last 18 months the Board of Canterbury United and Mainland Football are proposing that Canterbury United is merged into Mainland Football. The Game Delivery Model clearly articulates that a High-Performance arm of Mainland football is set up to manage the operations and delivery of the Canterbury United teams playing in various competitions. The restructure aims to align and simplify the complexities that currently exist."
Remit 2 - "That a Canterbury United Membership card is developed that will provide benefits to the 10000 members/supporters. This is seen as an exciting opportunity to provide something back to our members in recognition of their ongoing support."
Membership card offers Free entry to all Dragons, Pride and Youth home games; Ultra-Sport offer of 10% off on-line purchases; Hanmer Springs agreed, offer will be confirmed in February; Fuel offer with BP - “Club Car Offer” 20c/litre and Individual offer of at least 10c per litre; Shoe Clinic offer to be confirmed in February.
Increased Canterbury United fees:
2019 Fees - Senior $17.00 (Ages 19+), Youth $12.00 (Ages 13-18), Junior $7.00 (Ages 12 and Under).
2020 Fees - Senior $20.00 (Ages 19+), Youth $15.00 (Ages 13-18), Junior $10.00 (Ages 12 and Under).
Contact your club for more details.
