Cycling club membership payments.
Youth, adult and family rates for a club year that covers the road season and cyclocross. A racing member's Cycling Ireland licence number can be stored on the member. subs.ie does not issue the licence.
The season
Road racing and club spins run mainly from spring to autumn. Cyclocross is an autumn and winter sport. Many clubs take one annual membership that covers both. Set the dates to that year.
On subs.ie you set the season dates and a due date. Email reminders count from that due date. They go out on the days you choose, never more than one every three days, and they stop once the member has paid.
Juvenile, adult and family rates
Youth, adult and family rates are the usual split. A leisure membership and a racing membership can be two prices, if riders who do not race pay less. You set both.
The club names each membership and sets the price. A type can have a minimum age, a maximum age, or both, checked on a date you choose. A family membership is one price. You can limit how many adults and how many children it includes. An adult, for that count, is 18 or over on that date. On other memberships you can cap what a household pays, so a family is not charged more than the amount you choose.
Members can pay the full amount by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. A treasurer can record cash, a bank transfer or a cheque, and those payments have no online fee. A membership can be split into 2 to 10 monthly payments of at least €5. Members only see instalments once that option is switched on for the club. The detail is in Instalments for club fees.

Questions
When do cycling clubs usually collect membership fees?
Many clubs collect an annual membership covering the road season, from spring to autumn, and cyclocross in the autumn and winter.
Can adults and children be different prices?
Youth, adult and family rates are the usual split. Leisure and racing can be two different prices. Each membership has its own price and its own age rule, checked on a date you set. A family membership is one price. You can limit how many adults and children it includes, and you can cap what a household pays.
Does subs.ie register players with Cycling Ireland?
No. Registration with Cycling Ireland stays with the club. A governing body number can be stored on the member and is included in the registration spreadsheet. You download the file. subs.ie does not send it.
What does a cycling club pay for an online payment?
One fee on each online payment, including VAT and the card fees. The club decides whether it covers that fee or the member sees it as its own line. Cash, a bank transfer or a cheque recorded by the treasurer has no online fee. The pricing page shows the rate.
