WAA Affiliation Fees

At the EGM held on January 22^nd the introduction of Pro Rata fees was passed. 

 

So the affiliation fees for the WAA for the year starting 1st Oct 2011 to 30^th Sept 2012 are as follows:

 

1st Oct - 31st Dec	£10.00
1st Jan - 31st Mar	£7.50
1st April - 30th June	£5.00
1st July - 30th Sept	£2.50

    

 

 

Please note that this applies to new members not lapsed members and that the existing custom where people joining after 1^st May were covered for the following year has ceased to exist.

 

Some clarification from Alan Canning, Hon Secretary, WAA:

 

To save any confusion, the pro rata fee applies to both Senior and Juniors. It does not apply to a "Bloc" fee for a Junior/University/Disabled club which may be set up in the year.

 

The constitutional clause is shown below for clarity.

To add Clause 61(a) “Pro rata quarterly fees will be charged for new members joining during the year.The rates will be a percentage of the WAA Senior and Junior Affiliation Fees as follows: 1st Oct- Dec31st 100%; 1st Jan-Mar 31st 75%; 1st April- June 30th 50%; 1st July-Sept 30th 25% (subject to rounding)

 

(Note 1. The existing custom whereby people joining after 1st May will be covered for the following year will cease to exist, in line with GNAS.

 

Note 2. For clarity, new members are not “lapsed members”. Lapsed members are defined by WAA as those members who have not renewed their membership, within the affiliation year after the year in which their membership ceased and thus are liable for the full affiliation fee.)
