An Overview of the Transition from Student to Full Membership to clarify the process for relevant members....
- Student members, upon reaching the age of 21, are eligible to apply for full membership. Marie-Claire keeps on top of the ages of the students and so will generally mail out an application form. However, if you turn 21 and haven't received a form please contact Marie-Claire.
- In order to be eligible to progress to full membership a student member has to have attended at least one work party.
- Students will send in their application together with the entrance fee, currently $500. The application form also contains a commitment from the Student that they will pay $1,900 for a debenture before they reach 25 years.
- The debenture is simply a loan to the Club, which puts you on an equal footing with most other members of the Club. There is no interest paid on the debenture and repayment is subject to Directors' approval.
- Only full members have voting rights at General Meetings such as the AGM.
- Failure to take up full membership at age 21, will mean that the Student membership will lapse and unless the directors reopen membership there is very little opportunity for you to regain membership.
