MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL
Published 00:37 on 30 Nov 2022
It's now time for us to renew your club membership
Club membership runs from January to December, and it is now that time of year when your membership needs to be renewed.
Club membership can be renewed using the club website. Email reminders will be sent out to remind you to renew your membership online and I urge you to do this online as it reduces the amount of administration that needs to be performed in this process
It should be noted that you cannot volunteer for duties, next year, until your membership has been renewed.
Renewing your membership
To renew your membership please visit "My Renewals" page in the Members Area in the club's website, click HERE to go directly to this section (You will need to be logged in to the Members Area and you must be the primary club member).
To renew, select the boxes and then press the select the relevant boxes and the "Renew this membership" box. You will then receive an email acknowledging that you have renewed your membership and you will be sent an invoice for membership renewal and the renewal of berthing and moorings.
Please note that we have a "quirk" in our process in that you must select the box about boat insurance, even if you don't have a boat. This is to remind you that if you bring a boat to the club, you must have a relevant insurance policy.
Summer Dinghy Berthing, Moorings, Tender berths 2023
As part of the renewal process, your berths have been renewed for next year. The assumption is that you want the same berths and mooring that you had this year.
If you have asked Nigel Catling for a swinging and you see an entry for "Langstone Side Moorings" or "Chichester Side Moorings" it confirms that Nigel has allocated, you a mooring and informs you of the mooring number.
Your renewal invoice will include the berthing items. If you can't see details of your boat or I have renewed your berthing for a boat you have sold, please let me know and I will correct it.
Winter Berthing 2023/24
In addition to summer berthing, the winter berthing for next winter has also been renewed. Again, the assumption is that you will have the same boat next winter and you will still require winter storage.
By renewing and paying for your next winter storage early ensures that your able to keep the boat at the club next winter and helps the club to keep costs low by improving our cash flow. This helps us to fund projects in the club development plan, most of which are worked on during the summer season.
If you know you don't have paid for winter storage and find you no longer require it, just let us know and we will provide a refund or credit (it's your choice).
If you don't want winter storage then deduct this amount from your invoice, let me know and I will make the appropriate adjustments to your invoice.
Payment of Renewal Invoices
While prompt payment of the invoice is appreciated, we do recognise that it's not a great time of year to ask members for money. We will give members until the end of March 2023, before we start actively start chasing payments (you may receive invoice reminders).
We do prefer payment by bank transfer, and we also accept cheques. Unfortunately, we do not have currently have facilities to pay your fees using credit or debit cards, or to by monthly direct debit.
Lastly, if you do, in these difficult times, have problems paying your fees invoices please contact me so we can make appropriate (confidential) arrangements.
Lastly, if you find you want to resign your membership or cannot renew it due to incorrect membership types or incorrect berthing requirements, please let me know so I can update our records.
Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and good sailing next year.
Dick Taylor
Membership Secretary
