The board of directors has set the dues and meeting fees, starting from January 1st, 2019. It was decided to move some of the costs of meetings into annual dues and reduce the meeting fees accordingly. This is in recognition of the fact that some of our current meeting costs reflect room hire costs and are part of the normal operation costs of the club and should be met by all members rather than only those members attending meetings.
Accordingly, half-yearly dues have been raised from $250 to $300 and members' meeting costs have been reduced from $45 to $35 per meeting. It is expected that this will have approximately neutral impact on the club's operating budget, but it will be reviewed before July 2019.
