Practice fees
The practice fees cover two evenings per week Monday to Friday for the whole season. Practice fees are low, because
cancellation is frequent if fields are also used for Saturday play. The higher fee for floodlit fields is for the
longer hours of usage they get. The practice fee does not include the cost of lights. If council supplies
lights, an extra charge may be negotiated.
