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: The AGCP also has a provision for paying your fees on a monthly basis throughout the year. You will be charged an initial payment of $75 to cover the administrative fees associated with setting up your account, and the balance will be charged $30 each succeeding month for 11 additional months for shop sales under $100,000 per year and $40 per month for shop sales over $100,000 per year. Once you select this option you are obligating yourself for the total amount collected in 12 installments. You will notice the full payment options are a better bargain as they are highly discounted because they do not have the administrative cost for the personnel required to process your monthly payments.
Please choose the membership or renewal that applies to your situation: The top set are for sales of $100,000 or less per year and the second set is for shops with over $100,000 in sales per year.
