Hi sti 9029,
Membership is due in February of each year. We do however make an exception for those who have paid late in the previous year (i.e. from about October onwards), so if you were to pay any time after then you will be automatically added to the 2009 membership list.
having said all that....if you were to join today and attend a few events (e.g. rolling road, xmas party etc.) you would easily recoup your 50 euro in the space of a couple of months.
Cheers,
nodge
