Training Fees
When it comes to Training Fees, there are a few options available
Option 1:
BDAC allows the athletes, if they wish, to pay prior to each training session
All Athletes: £2.50 per session
Option 2
Alternatively, BDAC encourages all of its members to setup a Standing Order to pay for training fees.
Those who take up this option are able to make savings if you train regularly. (Based on potential annual savings when compared with 2 x weekly sessions in summer and 1 x weekly session in winter.)
All Athletes: £10.00 per month (Monthly Standing Order)
