We are introducing the second stage of facilities available to us in MOJO, our Membership Database with effect from 1st July 2016. From this date all new members and any members who re-join for 2016 using the database to self-join, or self-renew, will be able to download and print off their own membership card at that time, or at a later date when convenient to do so. Multiple membership cards for family membership must be down loaded and printed off separately, one by one.
It is recommended that the printed cards have some form of protection to enable them to last for up to twelve months.
All membership cads so printed must be in colour. Black and white copies and photocopies will not be regarded as a valid membership card.
Members who do not have the facility to print their cards as outlined, should contact the Membership Secretary.
Current members in possession of 2016 cards will enjoy this facility from 1st December 2016, the first date for renewing for 2017, when membership fees for ordinary adult members will be £20 and Junior Members £10. all other membership rates will remain unchanged.
Further information can be found within the post Membership Matters dated 2th May 2016.
Membership Secretary May 2016
Thanks for a nice simple way to renew membership. If only all garden railway societies could be this simple!
Thank you Ian! Enjoy your membership.
Thank you Ian. Evidence in the first 48 hours of renewals shows a high volume of members re-joining without any difficulty whatsoever.
It may be a cost effect way of renewing membership but the membership card is pathetic. It is not in my view a card but rather a scrap of paper which prints in Black and White and the G Scale logo is all but invisable.
Prior advice on the printing of membership cards advised that black and white or photocopied membership cards will not be deemed valid. Members choose which medium to print their card upon and whether they then add a form of protection to it is also their choice.
Membership Renewals are now in full swing with many members taking advantage of the new self-renewal facility. When doing so, payment can be made by Pay Pal, using your credit or debit card (preferred option) (you do not need a Pay Pal account to use this facility) but if you would prefer, you can pay by cheque, but this must reach the Membership Secretary within 7 days of you renewing on line, otherwise a reminder will be sent.
In payment options, select “Pay Pal” or “Cheque” but do not select “other” and follow the guidelines provided.
Membership Fees for 2017 are UK residents, Adult £20, Joint £25, Overseas Adult £30, Child (under 18) Half of the above rates.
This is not only as a reminder, but also to ensure that cheques have not gone adrift in the mail.
