CSU memberships are on a calendar year basis, that is, all memberships expire on Dec 31. Renewal notices are usually sent out to the Orienteering and Ski Sections beginning in early November, and to The Running and Racewalking Sections in early December. Please respond to the renewal notice; we would rather be outside sweating than inside at the computer sending out reminders.
BASIC DUES:
The basic annual dues
for CSU are $20 for a family membership, which includes children
up through the age of 20, $15 for an individual adult membership,
and $10 for an individual junior membership. Juniors are 18 years
of age and under. The basic membership includes membership in
one section for individuals. For families, it includes one one
section membership for each member of the family. Note - those
do not all have to be in the same section.
EXTRA SECTIONS:
Extra section memberships
cost $3 / section for each person, except for children12 and under,
for whom there is no additional charge. For example:
Race
Running
Walking Skiing Orienteering
Joe Sturdley X X X
Jane Studley X
Mark Sturdley (age 16) X X
Kris Sturdley (age 12) X X
That's a total of 8 section memberships, but we ignore Kris Sturdley's extra section, leaving 7. Since there are 4 family members, there are three extra section memberships. So the Sturdleys' dues are $20 plus $9 for the extra 3 sections, or $29 per year.
MULTI-YEAR MEMBERSHIPS
We accept multi-year memberships; just multiply the amount by
the number of years you want to pay in advance.
LIFE MEMBERSHIPS
You can set up a lifetime membership. The fees are $200 for an
individual, and $270 for a family (Remember, chidren will be included
only until they turn 21). Extra section memberships are $40 each.
PARTIAL YEAR MEMBERSHIPS
If you join between Sept 1 and Oct 31, dues for the remainder
of the year are only half the annual cost, or, for 1.5 times the
annual rate, you can extend your membership through the following
year. If you join after Oct 31, your membership will automatically
carry through the following year.
MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION
Use the following links to get the appropriate form. Both are
available in either PDF or HTML format. You should be able to
print out the form from your browser. If not, please contact me
(see below), and I can either email a form or mail a hard copy.
When you fill it out, please include birth dates; CSU team organizers need to know people's ages for events that have age classes, Also, if you can accept phone calls at work, or have a cell phone, please include one of those phone numbers; that can be helpful to team organizers. We also hope that, if you have any special skills that you could use to help CSU in its operations, you will list those skills on the form.
We urge all members to join the appropriate governing bodies for their sports. These are: Running and Race Walking - USA Track & Field/NE; XC Skiing - New England Nordic Ski Assoc; Orienteering - US Orienteering Federation. When you join such organizations, and are accredited to CSU, you will count for CSU in any team competitions you participate in. Please indicate your status on the form.
