Annual Fees

The annual subscription is the defined active membership provision under the Co-operative Societies Act.

The Board has resolved to set the annual subscription fee for 2024 at $100. This charge will continue to be reviewed in light of ongoing operating costs and accommodation income derived during subsequent years.

Any member who has not paid the annual subscription, that is, received by 30 June, will be classed as inactive and lose booking privileges, including any accommodation that may be taken up after 30 June.

Note: Inactive members will be in jeopardy of having their memberships cancelled.

Payment can be made by direct deposit to the Club bank account:
