My question is regarding what you guys think would be along the lines of suitable fees for the following:
* WCRI Yearly Membership. - includes costs towards insurance
* Children's Class (half hour duration)
* Adults Class (two hours duration) -
* Sash Grading (coloured sashes) -
* Black Sash Gradings. Black Sashes + Senior Levels:
* Logo Embroidery (each logo of which we have two Cost us $10.00 AUD per embroidery) -
* Chinese Weapons Gradings (all levels) -
* Workshops-
OVERSEAS AFFILIATES:
* Yearly Membership Fees -(Per Person or School?)-
* Gradings -
* Black Sash & Above Gradings-
* Syllabus Copy-
* Ruan Dong DVD ( Two DVD's) -
Your ideas please?
Your not going to like my answer, but charge them one lump fee, be it monthly, bi-monthly, whatever, and be done with it. You say your running a small private school which is fine but all the other grading charges and membership fees scream of BS charges for you to make money. Sorry, I don't agree with that. I don't believe in charging stupid, unnecessary fees for every thing that should be included in their training.
