Membership Policy
This policy details the
rules associated with paying for membership, renewing membership,
member participation, membership expiry, and committee membership.
|
Joining the club |
Once a
prospective member has been accepted into the club after
following the steps on the
how to
join page, the membership fee must be paid into the
club's bank account. Memberships are charged by calendar
year, however we provide a pro-rata scale for new members
that join during the year as follows...
Jan-Mar: full fee, Apr-Jun: 75% of annual fee,
Jul-Sep: 50% of annual fee, Oct-Dec: 25% of
annual fee. |
| Member Participation | Members
of our club are encoraged to lead some trips, either un-aided, or
with the help of a fellow member, and attend other club trips and
functions regularly, or at least from time to time. Members are
expected to be aware of our smoking policy, dog policy, and code of ethics. |
|
Renewing Membership |
Membership fees
are due by the end of Feb each year. Members receive several
notices of their membership fees being due, via the club's
group email system. If a member's fee is not received by the
due date, then the membership lapses, and so the member
becomes an Ex-member.
|
|
Membership
Cancellation |
A membership can
be cancelled by the committee, if the committee decides that
the member behaves inappropriately. This can include
behaving like a hoon, being anti-social, abusive, engaging
in illegal activities, or any other reason that is not in
the best interest of the club, it's members, the
environment, and the public. Cancellation of membership does
not entitle the member to a refund of fees. |
|
Ex-members |
Ex-members
are permitted to attend any club events or trips, however they are
encoraged to re-join, so as to be fair to those who have paid their
fees and enjoy the benefits of club membership. Ex-members are limited
to 3 trips, the same as visitors. Should the Ex-member wish to then
re-join at a later date, pro-rata rates do not apply, that is, they
must pay the full fee. The committee also reserves the right to
consider whether to allow an Ex-member to re-join, taking into account
the circumstances by which the membership lapsed. |
|
Committee members |
To
be eligible for election onto the club's committee, the member must
have been an active member for a minimum of 2 years. Being a member of
another 4WD club is acceptable, however it is prefferable that their
primary 4WD interest to be with our club, so that they will allocate adequate
time to be of service to our club. Committee
members are encouraged to lead several trips per year, and attend committee meetings. |
