Club Membership Renewals - clarification.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Vettech:
Just a bump up, as we seem to be getting renewals sent in with $50.

Particulary dissapointed in young Harry, who even after having the problem pointed out to him at the meeting went away and posted his $50 in.

Most would have seen this forum or recieved an email explaining that renewals are still at $75 and not as per the Sec report last month.
The Committee was looking at giving a discount of $25, but it was decided to look at the numbers first, the nasty Treasurer did the sums and sunk this proposition.

Basically Mag printing is $13000pa with Postage @ $2000 plus Envelopes/printing gives ˜$18000pa.
Now using 250 members as a top number at $75 equals $18750pa.
But using 250 members at only $50 equals $12500pa. This plainly does not cover our major cost.
Now the bright ones out there will say "but we have advertisers" - these add up to $6780.

The memberships are modified by subtracting Lifers, associates etc means that at full price we cover the mags and have little left over to run the yearly events etc, but at the $50 rate we only cover the Mag/print etc, with nill left over to put on events, BBQ's, show&shines, trophies or general running costs for the club.

Those of you in business know only too well that we cant operate in the red - the only way to not go under is to draw on our investment account.
This account will be required in the near future, by future committees to put on the Clubs next Nationals or Covention.

Donations and sponsorships are getting harder to obtain as national fiscal restraints cut into our sponsors.
I dont want to sound toooo "Liberal" but these times are truely "User Pays".

So Members the renewal cost IS as per the renewal form - ie $75.

Regards.

Club Mag
I personally Like the paper version of the mag. But have not received one for a long time,
I do get the digital copy, ( not by any decision of mine   )
Which I only read when I am asked to comment on  something that has been printed in it.
BUT
I can see the cost saving, if every one goes to the digital version, it would be a good  thing to put  up for a vote at the next AGM.
