Our organisation works on a fixed date membership system. That is, every person's membership expires and must be renewed on the same day each year - the 30th June.
As a result of this rule new members will not receive a full year of membership benefits in the first year in which they sign up. In recognition of this fact we reduce the first year membership fee (the joining fee) each three months after the fixed membership period ends according to the following schedule.
| Sign Up Period | Fee Reduction |
| First quarter |
No reduction |
| Second quarter |
25% |
| Third quarter |
50% |
| Fourth quarter |
75% |
The first year fee reduction applies for all membership levels.
