Annual subscription rate
The club year runs from 1 November to 31 October.
The full annual subscription for 2017-18 is £32.
If you are a member of Mountaineering Scotland this subscription can be reduced by the amount that the JMCS pays to Mountaineering Scotland - email
to find out the current rate..
Prompt payment is much appreciated, and payment by mid-December is essential for you to be covered by the Mountaineering Scotland' civil liability insurance scheme.
New members:
if you join between 1 Nov - 30 Apr you pay the full
subscription;
if you join between 1 May - 31 Aug you pay half the full
subscription;
if you join between 1 Sep - 31 Oct you pay
the full subscription, but this will also cover the following year's
membership
(including the annual Mountaineering Scotland membership - this runs from September to
August, and is the cause of this strange subscription policy).
How to pay the subscription
Various ways to pay the subscription:
(a) pay by bank transfer (see notes below); the bank account details are:
(b) send a cheque, payable to 'Edinburgh JMCS', to the club treasurer at the above address.
(c) simply pay in cash to the club treasurer.
NB if you pay by bank transfer:
(i) please email
to say that you have made a payment
(surprisingly, Bryan does not particularly enjoy reading the
JMCS monthly bank statements, and if you don't email it is conceivable he
won't notice the payment!);
(ii) if you get the option, please put your name as a
'reference' for the payment
(sometimes the transaction on the bank
statement just reads something like 'AC 123456789', which makes it
difficult to know who the payment is from!);
(iii) please don't use the above bank details for other
payments.
In particular,
hut fees payments should go to the hut custodian
- this makes it much easier for both the custodians and the treasurer to
keep track of what is going on
(and Bryan needs all the help he can get).
