well, the idea i was thinking is that there should just be a basic membership fee that is paid every year... could be $15-$20, this would get you your SAU membership that would entitle you to discounts at sponsors, and cheaper prices for any events we hold.
For the people that want more, we should have some official SAU merchandise that members can purchase... so stickers, stubby holders, clothing, key rings etc.
I think too that asking $20 for just a membership and nothing else is very reasonable.. the club will need funds for printing flyers, running events, business registration, cams affiliation etc etc and its not fair that a few members (ie slip and friends) should have to fork out the cash.
Any extra money will always go back into members anyway... so no one will miss out.
just my 2 c
also..... I think we should ask prank if we can have someone that runs the qld members section of the website (im putting my hand up if u need!)... we can then get photos of cruises, member profiles etc happening... and i know prank is a busy man...
