The levy was designed to be held by the club for those members who do not attend working bees/canteen hours.  The levy was set to encourage you, the member, to be involved within the club, because without members and their contributions the grounds and equipment  cannot be maintained. 

The $200.00 levy, if forfeited, is used to purchase or hire equipment and materials to continually upgrade the equipment and grounds.  If working bees/canteen hours are met, you are entitled to a refund of your Levy fee or carry it over to the following year.
