It has for some time been the practice of the Club to set annual subscriptions at a rate that, multiplied by the number of members, will cover the majority of the Club's fixed costs for the coming year. The logic is that certain expenditure such as rent, insurance, audit fees etc. must be outlaid irrespective of whether there is any income from accommodation. These are viewed as the cost of holding a building in Thredbo, and therefore can be considered the cost to members of belonging to the Club, their share of these holding costs.

 

Due to a net loss of twenty members since the 2024 subscriptions were issued, the Board has been obliged to increase the subscription rate by 6.61% to $726.

​​

Since a healthy Club membership is paramount in keeping subscription costs down the Board is focused on growing the member base - in particular amongst people who are more likely to use the Club in summer - hence the Summer Membership initiative members would recently have received correspondence about. Members can help with this effort by encouraging and supporting new memberships from friends and relatives.
