Expenses Policy - Players

Until further notice, the expense policy, for players representing the Scottish Croquet Association, is as follows:

  • Players participating in qualifying events in the UK are entitled to claim up to £30 per playing day for travel and accommodation, with a maximum entitlement of £120.
  • Players participating in qualifying events overseas are entitled to claim up to £60 per playing day for travel and accommodation, with a maximum entitlement of £120.  For the avoidance of doubt, "overseas" includes the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and Ireland but not any of the Scottish, English and Welsh islands.
  • Events qualifying for funding will be listed by the SCA at the beginning of each year. Exceptional circumstances may occur and will be given consideration.
  • It is expected that representative players will take all necessary steps to minimise their expenses. e.g. by economy travel, car sharing or accepting offers of host accommodation.
  • All expense claims must be supported by relevant receipts.
  • All claims should be submitted to the current Treasurer.

N.B. For reporting purposes,

  1. All claims will remain anonymous
  2. In instances where a player waives their entitlement to claim, this will be treated as an anonymous donation.
  3. Should claimants not wish the donation to remain anonymous, they would be required to make the claim and personally donate a sum of their choosing.
