Fee Policy
Two fundamental requirements are employed when determining the fee for any BEWET activity or event:
Expenses are shared
No individual member receives financial gain/compensation for activity/event participation
Expenses generally fall into two categories:
Overhead expenses (e.g. equipment storage fees, insurance fees, truck servicing / maintenance fees)
Trip operational expenses (e.g. camping fees, club equipment losses / breakages, put-in/take-out fees, BBQ briquettes, club truck gas, equipment rental fees, permit fees)
Overhead expenses are independent of the number of trip participants or the number of trips in a year. Trip operational expenses include consumables that may support several trips when replenished. As such, the actual per person expense share is difficult to calculate for any single trip. Therefore expenses will be amortized across all trips in a single calendar year to determine an appropriate per person trip fee. At the end of the year, excess fees paid are redistributed back to club members. Acceptable means of redistribution are; an end of year function open to all members, and/or maintenance/replacement* of club equipment. No individual members are to receive financial gain or compensation from the redistribution.
*Does not include capital expenditures
