Hi All,

Why not the wording below for the fees amendment. It adds flexibility and will allow the exec to determine any necessary fees for certain payment types. This has the benefit that if there is deemed to be no additional cost, the exec can not charge an additional fee. It also ensures that the club is not disadvantaged by fees associated with different payment types.

       a. The membership fee is $20.00 for one year or part thereof,
       and falls due the 31st day of August or the next AGM whichever
       is the latest. An additional fee may be charged for the processing
       of non cash payments, and is to be determined and published by
       the exec for each type of payment that will be accepted.

Thanks
James
