Ambleside AC Financial Guidance

Ambleside AC financial guidance

Funding for trips to races

The club would like to thank organisers of trips and races for their efforts in making these events happen. It is no small task and is appreciated by members. This guidance is intended to make the financial arrangements more straightforward and transparent, and it applies to both senior and junior parts of the club.

If your trip or race ‘qualifies’ for funding, please either send an invoice or bank transfer details to the Club Treasurer or pay with your own money and reclaim. Don’t forget to send any receipts.

Club Treasurer is Rob Harper. Email: amblesidetreasureraac@gmail.com

To British and English Champs races and UKA Fell Relay. If six or more club competitors are travelling and the event is a significant distance from Cumbria the club will pay for a minibus and ferry costs. Club members are expected to pay for their own petrol, accommodation and meals and, if driving, are encouraged to share vehicles and split petrol costs.

To other races (e.g. Carnethy, Ben Nevis) and other ‘non race’ club trips (for example weekends in Scotland or Wales) – same as above.

Contributions will be capped at £50 per person per event.

Important note to trip organisers

If the trip is to receive club funding, please publicise to all members via a WhatsApp broadcast, a Facebook post and in a Newsletter. (Send to the Membership Secretary for help in publicising at katiep018@gmail.com )
