{Stus-List} Club Memberships - Crew

[Allan Rheaume]

I'm at The Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club in Montreal. We luckily have had changes as of last year after the last commodore rotation.
 
Our old crew memberships were $ 545.00 per year per crewmember (based on being 35 years of age or older) which gave crewmembers signing privileges in the bar and dining room with no access to the pool or tennis.
 
Our new crew memberships are $200.00 per year per crewmember, they no longer have signing privileges though are welcome in the bar/dining room as the club accepts cash or credit cards.
 
Under our old system you didn't just need good crew...you needed good affluent crew, the two don't always go together and many boats lost good crew to other clubs on the lake that were more reasonably priced.

Thanks to all who have responded so far.  I forgot to ask for the names of the Club's - having names of Club's on the survey results will make them more interesting / meaningful.  In the light of full disclosure, I am conducting this informal survey for Pequot Yacht Club - we do not have a bar, and our dining facilities are limited to lunchtime, Wednesday post-race bbq, and special events. We do not currently have a "crew" membership category, but are looking at ways to encourage non-member crews to come to the BBQ post race and socialise.  It's tough on the boat-owning member to have to spring for the cost of the bbq each time for all his / her crew, and although we do have the capability to accept credit cards this is not yet implemented in the dining area.  While we would not run foul of liquor licensing laws (no bar) we are being cautious about any revenue generated from non-members, hence the survey on "crew" memberships.

> Would appreciate any help you can give me and apologise in advance that this is not C&C related!.  I am trying to find out whether it is reasonably common for yacht clubs to have a "Crew" membership category for people who crew regularly on cruising class boats for club races.  Would you be so kind as to let me know if your club has a "crew" membership category, and if so what you charge per year for the membership, and if crew members have full charging privileges (dining room, bar etc). If you don't have a "crew" membership, do you allow crew to buy drinks / meals etc on race nights / days?
