Default How does your club handle transient members?

Our club has a category of membership for those that own their own
glider, they are treated just like regular members but pay only 1/2
the monthly dues.

We also have an intern membership where the initiation fee is half,
with the remainder due in a year.

For those that leave the area, there is an inactive status that keeps
them in the club, but they cannot vote or use the equipment.

Hope this helps;

I'm curious how the full dues paying members feel about the owner/
members paying 1/2 the dues. Our club used to do that as well, but
decided to do away with it.
