The terms of payment for each invoice issued monthly is:   

Payment in full within 14 days.

This is not new. It has been the expectation for many, many years.

Prompt payment is appreciated.

There are some serious steps the Association can take under the constitution if clubs allow bills to go unpaid for more than 1 month. (For instance section 8 allows removal of affiliation for unfinancial clubs.)

But these steps have been suggested:

• • Withhold admin services (eg. enquiries, approvals for transfer, replacement or regrading)

  • Stop supplying new balls on ‘credit’ (new balls may require payment at the time of collection)

  • Suspension of the awarding of match points

None of these need to be considered for any club in good financial standing. (i.e bills paid within 14 days)
