For members living in Kildare, the rates have been reduced by approximately 25%. For members living outside Kildare, the rates have been reduced by approximately 40% in recognition of the additional restrictions and time lost.

Some members have expressed a desire to pay the full rate, in order to contribute to the continued development of the club. As such, 2020 members may, at their own discretion, pay the full renewal rate, which has not changed from the 2020 rate.
