From this page you can join the AGCP To renew your membership.
Pro Rated Membership Fees: Our membership is Pro Rated quarterly so that you can join any time during the year. All memberships end on December 31st of each year. AGCP memberships do not run from the date you joined until that date next year. The reason for this is that it requires a lot of bookkeeping and that is an expensive function. By running our memberships as we do we save this expense and this keeps your membership fees lower and allows us to use your money to provide more clubfitting and clubmaking benefits to you by not using it up for administrative purposes. By having all dues come due on December 31 of each year it is a simple matter to determine who has paid and who has not. We remove any who have not paid and change all user names and passwords to protect the membership.
Sales Related Membership Fees: Our membership consists of both part time and full time dedicated fitters and builders. We have home based shops and Retail store front shops. Some members benefit more from their membership and some benefit less. Some can afford to pay more for getting more, some can’t. For 2009 we are introducing a structured membership fee plan based on annual sales. We structured our membership this way because we plan on starting a small National ad campaign in 2009 and we believe the larger shops and the store front shop who advertise now will receive more benefit from our advertising than the part time clubmakers. This is on the honor system and no checks will be made. The difference is minor but will help offset the advertising budget for the AGCP.
Monthly Payments for Membership Fees:
You can pay for your membership in monthly payments if you like. Through PayPal we can allow you to register and make payments that will charged to your credit card and extend your payments for 6 months from the date you make the transaction. Sorry, no cancellations. Once you sign up PayPal will charge your credit card 1 payment per month until your membership is paid in full. We only offer this option for the $369 per year membership and we add an additional $60 at $10 per month for extending the terms of your payments because we operate on a cash basis can pay cash for everything and we do will not get your dues for 6 months. You will pay 6 payments at $71.50 per month for a total of $429.00.
