MEMBERSHIP With the cancellation of events and opportunities to compete, there was an inevitable decline in the overall sign up of new members, with at least a 35% drop rate in membership renewal and registration for club and associate membership.
One of the membership categories affected by the Covid-19 pandemic was the Associate Member, which declined by 51% from the previous year, which is a clear correlation with the fact that no events were held with spectators in 2020. This Associate membership category comprises predominantly of parents and fans that take up SG membership to gain complimentary access to spectate at National events.
