I sent in my application, and check to my current club this December and was inducted into the club in January. I was just told that I need to pay the annual dues again this Month and it goes from May13 to May14. They didn't prorate the fee in December, and they are now asking me to pay full membership again even though I haven't even been a member for more than 5 months. I feel a little cheated as they never mentioned this to me when I applied and I just figured I start paying my dues every January. Is this normal standard operating procedure at other gun clubs or is it just a fluke?
