Default Club Tow Fee and Dues?

Roughly 50 members in Central California Soaring Club
$40 / month for regular members billed quarterly.
$10/month for students -- we try to subsidize the students

4 club ships (1-26E, 2 2-33's, Gapa PW-2) and a Blanik L-13 that
isn't worth counting any more.
Towplane: Cessna 150/150

$7/flight for maintenance on the club gliders no hourly fees.

Tows:
$15 - Rope Break practice
$20 - 1000
$30 - 2000
$1 /100 above Pattern essentially.

Glad to see other clubs are in the same ballpark. It's always tight,
but we are managing to keep soaring relatively affordable.

Good evening,
I was just wondering what other clubs where charging for tows
and dues.I just wanted to see where we are compared to other
clubs.


We have 25 members with 3 gliders and a Pawnee. There are
9 privately owned gliders.


Our dues are $50 per month of which $10 goes for an engine fund.
Our tow fees are about $1 per hundred feet.
We are paying $5.25 per gallon for fuel.


Thanks for your information.
