Membership

Pre-application

Members should only offer people an application form (unless they ask for one) if they intend to sponsor that application
Members should emphasise to prospective members the need to get to know enough people at open nights so that they will have at least three sponsors

New members must fill out an application form and give it to the membership secretary (via the mail tray)
The blurb from the form will be submitted to the members mailing list, asking for sponsors
Three sponsors are required to approve the applicant
New members will be announced on the members mailing list after their membership term is started
- The announcement will include links to the new member guide and other areas of interest/current information

Unapproved application forms with no activity will be discarded after 3 months
Approved applications will have 3 months to make their initial payment or their application will be discarded

Discounted and remote membership rates are at the discretion of the board of directors

If a member’s monthly membership subscription remains outstanding for more than 3 months, their current membership term will be ended

35L box to store stuff in within the store room (not included with the remote membership rate)
