Pricing Policy

Standard Rates

We aim to be a financially sustainable and independent organisation while keeping our membership, courses and trips accessible to all. We hope to achieve this with a base rate that offers great value, is affordable to most and is enough to support the club.

Discounts

We really value our family groups and those that attend several times a week and we know the costs of this add up very quickly. To help achieve our mission to encourage regular, life-long physical activity and involvement in social and community sport we already offer the following discounts: members, family/sibling, for booking a block of sessions, subsidised/funded courses and more.

Assistance rates

However we understand that not everyone can afford these rates (even with the discounts). We hope that price should never be the main barrier to participation. Therefore we have added in an “Assistance Rate” or reduced price option for anyone who would not be able to attend at the standard rates.

There is no means testing for this, all we ask is that you make an honest declaration that you and/or your family members value the benefits of attending but would not be able to do so at the regular rate.

Families who may not consider themselves to be exactly “low-income” but who (for example) would like for several members to attend several times a week and find the total price prohibitive, should consider this option for some or all of the sessions attended.

How to claim

If you wish to avail of our assistance rates please send an email to assistance-rates@ernepaddlers.org.uk, with the subject line “Assistance Rates”, stating that, “I / my family value the benefits of attending but would not be able to do so at the regular rate and request to pay the assistance rates.

When you have sent the email, you can check the relevant box in the membership application form.

Instalment options

Before you ask for our assistance rate, please first consider spreading the cost over several payments . We have set up instalment options on all eligible products (Introductory rates for new joiners not included).

The assistance rates will be around 50% off for most courses and sessions but will range from free to 15% off for specific courses and memberships.
