Dues and Travel Fees

We collect dues once a semester. Dues are normally $30 per semester, but can be changed to reflect expected expenses for the season. Dues should be collected from returning members starting about a week into practice, but new members should be given a trial period until they have to pay dues; in the past, new members have not been expected to pay dues until after Chaos.

Travel fees are charged to all fencers competing in away tournaments. The officer organizing travel should determine the travel fee for a given event based on cost of transportation (only personal vehicles are free), distance and number of cars traveling (which determines gas and toll costs) if driving, and cost of lodging. In general, travel fees should be below $30 (with the possible exception of national championships).
