Entrance Fee and Other Dues
An
entrance fee of $20 is payable upon application and/or reinstatement of
membership. The first annual subscription is payable within one (1)
month upon election into membership, in default of which membership may
be cancelled by order of the Council.
Members joining from the first day of July of each year shall be
required to pay only half of the normal subscription rates, subject to
approval on the discretion of Council.
For members who are above 60 years of age and who are not gainfully
employed, the entrance fee is waived and the annual subscription is
reduced by half.
Annual subscriptions are payable in advance within the first month of
the year. If a member falls into arrears with his subscription or other
dues, he shall be informed immediately by the Treasurer. If he fails to
settle his arrears within one (1) month of their becoming due, the
Chairman may order that his name be posted on the
Society's
notice board and that he be denied the privileges of membership until he
settles his account. If he falls into arrears for more than three (3)
months, he will automatically cease to be a member and the Council may
take legal action against him provided that they are satisfied that he
has received due notice of his debts.
All dues and payments made to the
Society
shall not be refundable on termination of membership.
Any additional fund required for special purposes may be raised from
members with the consent of the general meeting of the members.
Points to Note:
Persons who are below 18 years of age shall not be accepted as members
without the written consent of their parent or guardian.
Only Ordinary members who are 21 years of age and above shall have the
right to vote and to hold office in the Society.
