Section 4
Subscriptions and Fees
4.1 The level of subscriptions and fees, and the dates upon which they shall be due, shall be proposed by Council for approval at the Annual General Meeting, or at a Special General Meeting.
4.2 Every newly-elected Fellow and Candidate Fellow shall pay an Admission Fee and Annual Subscription within two calendar months after the date of election. If the candidate is elected within three months prior to the due date for payment of Annual Subscriptions, then the Annual Subscription for the current subscription year shall be waived. Until these payments have been made the candidate shall not be a Fellow or Candidate Fellow, and shall not be accorded any of the rights and privileges of Fellowship. If there are special reasons for delay in payment, Council may grant an extension of time for payment. Otherwise the election shall be void.
4.3 The Annual Subscription of Fellows and Candidate Fellows for the subsequent calendar year is due on 1 November and shall be payable in advance.
4.4 Council may propose the reduction of the Annual Subscription and Admission Fee payable on the grounds of age, length of Fellowship of the Society, employment status, overseas domicile, joint Fellowship for partners living at the same address, or other criteria at the Annual General Meeting, or a Special General Meeting. Council may propose, for approval by Fellows, a life subscription by which a Fellow can compound all further Annual Subscription for Fellowship due by a single payment.
4.5 Fellows or Candidate Fellows shall be advised when four months or more in arrears with their Annual Subscription. If the Annual Subscription is not received within eight months after the due date, Council shall remove the Fellow or Candidate Fellow from the Society without further warning. The President may, on compassionate or other grounds, waive or delay the payment of the Annual Subscription by Fellows and Candidate Fellows and shall inform Council.
4.6 Chartered Geologists shall pay the Annual Registration Fee in advance for the forthcoming year prior to a date determined by Council. Each Chartered Geologist shall be advised when two months or more in arrears with their Annual Registration Fee. If the Annual Registration Fee is not received within six months after the due date, Council shall remove the Fellow without further warning from the list of Chartered Geologists who shall then be required to make a new validation application.
