NMFF is changing the way we pay for the use of the club. One of the goals is to alter the fee structure so that those who use the club the most will pay their share of the costs, and those who use it less will pay less.

The current system has a basic quarterly membership fee of $225.00, or $75.00 per month. That fee gets you one class per week at the club. The higher level membership is $270.00 per quarter, or $90.00 per month. That gets you as many classes as you want to take as well as open bouting. Private lessons with Jamey are additional.

The new fee structure is a flat $40.00 per month membership fee PLUS punchcards purchased at the following rates:

20 punches for $200.00

8 punches for $100.00

Obviously the larger punch card is the bargain at $10.00 per punch.

The way the system works is that when you go to the club for a class you sign up on an attendance sheet next to the door. Kate will tally up the number of classes you have attended for that month and punch your card accordingly. So, if you have paid your monthly membership fee of $40.00 and attended one class per week for four weeks your total cost for that month is $80.00. If you attend more classes, come to open bouting, or have private lessons with Jamey your costs go up accordingly.

Here's the fee schedule for the punch cards during normal club hours:

Class - 1 Punch

Open Bouting - 1 Punch

Private Lesson - 1 Punch

Private lessons with Jamey during non-club hours are two punches.
