Thursday 26-02-2025.  The club is accessible but road conditions are icy and slippery. Ranges are snow covered. Locks will freeze after the rain today so take a heat source to thaw them out to gain access to club facilities. Be aware of ice underfoot when moving around club grounds.

For current members wishing to renew this year, you will have to use the membership applications forms at https://sjrgc.com/membershipapplication.php

Fill this out as if you are applying for membership for the first time.  You will be issued a new membership number and your membership card will be digital. 

IMPORTANT - if you are going to add a spousal member, a youth member, or a 2nd regular member - then finish yours, pay and log out. Go to the spousal membership, youth or regular membership application and start over. 

Once you are in the new membership system, you will be able to edit your membership information by logging into the system. 

You should have a head and shoulders jpeg image available to upload and go on your card.

New Membership System - Join It

The Board made the decision to move to an online membership system for a number of reasons:

1. a) Cost - it is becoming prohibitively expensive to mail out membership forms and cards. Costs include postage, materials and labor;
2. b) Moving online allows members to update their information in a timely manner, and provides us with an up-to-date membership database;
3. c) Join It includes email capacity, which we were paying separately for;
4. d) Members can download an electronic membership card to store on their mobile phone, in either Apple or Google Wallet. You can also download a file you can print out;
5. d) Many members have asked to be able to apply, renew and pay for their membership online; and
6. e) Join It also has additional capacities that we may use in the future.

Comments:

1) Membership fee - this remains at $120.00 per year.

2) HST - the necessity to pay HST on membership is not due to the switch to Join It. The need to pay HST on top of the membership fee has to do with CRA regulations. However, we will be able to recover HST paid on materials and services that we are using.

3) There is a transaction fee in Join It to use the Stripe payment system. However, this fee greatly simplifies handling of our membership fees. They are processed and deposited directly into our bank account, with no volunteer or membership coordinator time involved. 

Membership Photo  - as part of the membership process you will be asked to upload a photograph of yourself. This photo should be a head and shoulder picture, between 1 and 10 Mb in size, and uploaded in jpeg/jpg format. Pretty much the same as a photograph for your PAL.  Please give the photo a bit of time to upload and do not keep repeating trying to upload one. If the original upload did not work, we can get a photo from you and upload it later.

Pending/Provisional Status - initially your membership status will show as pending. We will change this to active once we have made sure that all the necessary fields on the membership form have been filled out correctly.

Membership Application - we recommend you fill out the application form on a computer or pad. The portal may not size well on some phones.  You will find a link to the Membership Application on the home page and under Members Info - Membership Application.
