A special opportunity.

A special notice apropos fees.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) is South Africa's largest membership based organisation in South Africa for gaming.

It is not difficult to see why, as all member clubs have a direct say in the affairs of MSSA. However, to excercise such say, the member club has to be a fully-paid-up member club.

So what happens to new clubs affiliating in October 2018? Do such clubs have to pay their fees twice, once for the 2017/2018 year, and once for the 2018/2019 year?

This may be an issue as new clubs may want to have input to the National Convention to be held on 1 December 2018.

To alleviate this issue, MSSA's Management Board has, as per usual, agreed that new clubs affiliating after 1 October 2018 be allowed to only pay the 2018/2019 affiliation and registration fees and receive the benefits of membership for both years.

The fees for the 2018/2019 gaming year (1 November 2018 to 31 October 2019) are:

Affiliation fees per club per annum			R100.00 per annum
Registration fees:	Registered with MSSA		R107.00 per player
	Players who are members of school clubs		R6.00 per player

Please note that Registration Fees may be waived by the Management Board should a player have reached the age of majority and is unemployed, or if the player is a minor and his/her parents are unemployed.

Please note that the voting strength that any member has at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in December is based on the paid-up membership of such member at the date of the AGM.
