Journal of the Central Coast Family History Society Inc.
Annual Membership Fees for 2013 will be:
Single Membership $45.00
Joint Membership $62.00

The modest increase in membership fees is the first increase in four years
and is necessary to enable the Society to continue to provide the range of
services and support to members. The new fees will apply to membership
renewals and new memberships from 1 November 2012.
Among recent benefits for members, the Society has
• Replaced 12 computers in the Research Centre with new models with
increased speed and capacity
• Installed a new modem to improve Internet access to our computers
and members’ laptops
• Provided free access to several new programs, such as Find My Past all
sites, British Newspaper Archives, and The Genealogist
• Established our own Intranet – Pelicanet – to provide direct in-house
access to many resources without the need to find and load individual
CDs
• Installed new, sturdy work tables and a large projection screen in the
Research Centre to enable the Society to conduct in-house educational
workshops for members, reducing the costs of external venue hire.
• Purchased a new projector for talks and courses.
The Management Committee has decided to proceed immediately with the
purchase of the new ScanPro2000 Multipurpose Scanner, which is a
significant investment. As well, the Society is also meeting increased
operating costs, such as electricity, insurance, rental and printing.
