Membership Charging System
Until recently membership of the Firth of Clyde Forum
was free. However, the need to generate some of our
own funds has meant that we have had to start charging for membership,
therefore a membership subscription scheme has been
implemented.

The
thinking behind subscription charging
Whilst
the individual subscriptions are relatively small, the income will combine
to generate a significant proportion of our total budget - between 20%
and 30%. Combined with larger funding packages from other Clyde Forum
stakeholders, the predictable, regular income from membership charging would
put the FoCF on a much firmer financial footing, allow us to plan further
ahead and to tackle more ambitious, longer term projects.
In our calculations, we have assumed
that where there are several representatives of one organisation, for
example a local authority, currently members of the Forum, only one
membership payment would be required for the organisation. However, as
membership entitles free attendance at FoCF events and subsidised attendance
at the annual conference, there would be an upper limit of 3 individuals per
organisation who would be entitled to these subsidies. Clearly, further
individuals would be more than welcome to attend, but would be required to
pay full price to do so.
