This menu item allows an authorised Committee Member to set the annual membership fee. The Treasurer, Membership Secretary and President would normally be authorised for Fees Management. The most likely time to use Fees Management will be just after an AGM, if the fee was changed at the meeting.

To change the current fee to a new dollar amount

  • Log in
  • On the green menu change ‘Member’ to your Committee role (e.g. Treasurer) using the drop-down arrow. If you are authorised to set the fee amount, you will now see ‘Fees Management’ in your menu.
  • Hit Fees Management
  • This shows you a page with the history of all fees from the date the System was implemented in November 2017.
  • Add Fees
  • Fill in the form, inserting the new dollar amount
  • Submit.

When you hit Submit, the System changes the Membership Application form and the Renewal form to show new dollar amount in the payment section.

What about other web pages that mention the current fee?

You will need to arrange for any pages that mention the dollar amount as part of the text to be changed manually. If you don’t know how to do that, the Web Manager will do it, or show you how.

If the Web Manager wants you to provide a list of the pages on the website on which the dollar amount is mentioned, follow these steps:

  • Home
  • Scroll to the foot of the page
  • Find the ‘Search’ box
  • Type in $33 (or whatever the fee was)
  • Hit enter

You will get a results list of the pages that mention $33. You have to follow each link to the page to find the actual $33.
