ASRA Membership and registration renewals for 2009

[Mark Horan]

It doesnt really matter when the membership is due, calender or financial year. people are busy at the end of either.at the end of the Fin year, Im getting tax ready, in the middle of calving and not flying much due to the coolish weather. Left the way it is now, although busy, if I dont get my membership done, there is no legal flying on those prime flying afternoons at this time of year.I thought Mark the Registrar gave ample notice to get memberships done before the due date and as I said before, one doesnt have to pay on the 31st of dec, any time before then will do. If people have time to get on the net and complain about the time of year, maybe their effort would be better spent filling in the membership forms. we dont have to wait for the forms to come with the gyro news, they are availiable throught the ASRA site, if you can get on the forum, you can print the forms off and send them in the post, its not hard!Im not wanting to upset anyone here, Im just being fair dinkum.Mark. :-*

Its specially easy if there are "no" changes to your gyro and surely by now, everyone must know that Dec 31st is the cut off date AND it can be paid in advance !!For some, the photo might be a problem but today with digital cameras, it makes it even easier to do the photo thing .
