Derbyshire CCC slash the costs of 2002 membership
by Alan Rowley, 18th September 2001

Derbyshire County Cricket Club have announced reductions in membership costs for the 2002 season. In a move that will be welcomed by all current members, £30 has been slashed from the Full Members price. The statement reads ...

"Following a difficult season on the field membership rates at Derbyshire have been slashed for 2002 with £30 being lopped off the Full Member price and substantial reductions on most categories.

A member now pays only £60 for a full season's cricket while the Senior Citizen price has been pegged back to the 2000 rate of £45. Prices for Executive tickets have also seen a reduction.

The Patron membership, which included one full ticket, a transferable guest ticket and a car-park pass, is now no longer available along with their own seating area on the ground. However, a member's ticket, plus a new category called Member's Guest at the same £60 price, plus a car-park pass would still mean an overall reduction of £15.

The Country Patron at £120 will still remain but only for renewals. In addition to these reductions a 10% discount is available for members on purchases made in the Club Shop.

Any enquiries regarding the new rates or joining the Club call John Grainger on 01332 388 106."

Sting In The Tail applaudes the county for making these reductions and we hope that this will lead to a sharp increase in membership for the 2002 season. This represents real value-for-money, so why not get down to the County Ground and make yourself a member?
