How does that £76 break down
I thought £35 for you £10 or £12 for your grandson and about £8 rings with the Rpra

[George and Morgan]

my g/son is 17 so £35 each had to pay that this year when he was 16

Council have used rule 142 to set the subs and fees for next year which are £35 subs for full members of which £31 goes to HQ and £4 is retained by the regions, i say retained as it is the Regions or more accurately the Region secretaries that collect the subs and forward them onto HQ this is in itself saves a tremendous amount of time and cost to HQ
I think that the admin of HQ is top heavy for the work involved and that further cost savings should be considered to avoid a year on year increase.
As membership falls which is inevitable and unavoidable, the organisation must charge what is necessary to cover its costs and to survive.
However a lot of people must be asking why the subs are what they are when the NEHU subs are only a third?

Hi Bowbroom, hope you're well.
In my opinion, this is exactly the reason why the RPRA are in the shite in the first place - because they are not moving forward with the times.
The collection of subs etc in this day and age could easily be mechanised and the regions disposed of with a saving of some £80,000. If its all done on line, it would have a minimal "burden" on HQ.
Can you tell me what else the regions do for their £4 per member - other than paying for the ludicrous travel expenses and accomodation to meetings etc. Which can also be done on line. - we are in 2024 for goodness sake.
