Costs and Fees

The Club operates its annual activities within the Financial Year period.  This means that all membership renewals are due on or before 1 July. If a member wishes to renew their membership, they will be covered by public liability insurance if payment is made prior to 30 June. Otherwise they cannot use the workshop equipment until their annual membership fee is paid.  There is a grace period till near the end of August, before a renewing member incurs another joining fee.
