TA and TriNSW Membership for 2008/09

Many Clubs and Members have enquired about the introduction of rolling membership. The official response from TA is that to change the whole membership structure from a financial year to a rolling year will require a complete overhaul of the national database and the cost will be substantial. TA’s contract with their current provider expires in June 2009, although they are tendering the business in the next couple of months. The rolling membership concept needs to be part of a broader recruitment and retention strategy which has been delegated to the TA Marketing Manager. There is support for the rolling membership concept within TA (and VERY STRONG support within TriNSW), however TA needs to consider the matter in greater detail.

In the mean time, membership for the 2008/09 financial year will again open early on 1st June – giving new members 13 months of membership for the price of twelve. Details of membership benefits and the 2008/09 fee structure will be available for perusal on the website at that time. The TriNSW Board has increased some membership categories only marginally (CPI), whilst family membership fees remain the same as 2007/08, and other categories such as juniors and Technical Officials have actually been reduced.
