Lasswade Athletics Club – Training Fees 
We would like to remind parents / athlete’s of the option of paying for training fees via Standing Order/Direct Debit. We would like to emphasise that this is an alternative option and our preferred option compared to paying on the night. However, the choice remains yours.
A Standing Order requires the customer’s bank to send the money, whereas a Direct Debit requires the beneficiary to claim the money. The customer therefore has entire control over this agreement.
Following the streamlining process, fees will continue to be paid by standing order until the Athlete has left the club or sustained a long term injury. Standing orders should be paid monthly, on the 2nd business day of each month. The monthly amount is the total cost of training sessions for the year as each standing order payment should be specific to each athlete therefore, please ensure that the reference for your payment is the athlete’s name and that only one athlete is paid for with any one standing order – this is the only way for us to record payments.
Each individual athlete who wishes to pay for training fees via Standing Order will be issued a credit card sized card as proof of a Standing Order athlete. It will be up to the athlete to ensure that they have the card with them on training nights so John Brash and the coaches are aware that they are set up with a Standing Order and no money is required.
Please find below a summary of the calculations and notifications of the amount that you should set up/amend as appropriate:
| Training (Option) | No of Training Sessions | Cost per Class | Total Annual Cost | Monthly Standing Order |
| Monday (1) | 48 | £2.00 | £96.00 | £8.00 |
| Thursday (1) | 48 | £2.00 | £96.00 | £8.00 |
| Monday & Thursday (2) | 48 | £2.00 | £192.00 | £16.00 |
