The November General Meeting of the Naturalists’ Club has endorsed the Council decision to increase the membership fees to the following:

• $90 for family membership
• $70 for single membership
• $40 for junior membership

Our last increase was in 2005. This increase in fees matches the increase in the Reserve Bank CPI over those 6 years. The decision was made only after a close examination of the Club’s finances and is necessary to keep the Club on a secure financial basis. A breakdown of the Club’s income and expenses over the last 3 years, showing how much costs have increased, is available to members on request. We look forward to your continued membership and support.
