I just converted to a lifetime membership to avoid the postcard BS.You think you have it bad ... I'm a LIFE member and still have to fill out the renewal form each year ... LIFE member ... nothing has changed in my stats for over 30 years ... still have to fill out the renewal form each year whether a reminder is sent or not (which it was not for this year) ... did I mention LIFE member?
By now, you'd think there would be some sort of automated fill in the blank form for people who have LIFE memberships ... hell, for any member renewing year to year.
So it looks like CM and I will be racing down the street to get a copy of the renewal form into the slot on the clubhouse door.
What's the process and cost to convert to life member?I just converted to a lifetime membership to avoid the postcard BS.
Has your card ever been locked out due to failing to mail a renewal form?
Yeah, I'm under the impression you still have to submit the card each year, even for lifetime.I think it's funny rebase posted that considering post #49.
But yes, I too, would like to know about lifetime membership.
Lots of pleading via email but in the end just a fee:What's the process and cost to convert to life member?
Ouch, thanks for the info!Yeah, I'm under the impression you still have to submit the card each year, even for lifetime.
Thank you so much for this perspective, it is so true and needed to be said.The folks who serve as Club Officers, Board Members, and Event Directors work very hard to keep MCFG a safe, clean, and hospitable place to shoot. Most of them also have full-time jobs and families to tend to.
Yes, there are some goofy rules, but in the end, the rules don't really cause that much consternation. In fact, most of the rules were developed as a result of some bonehead doing something unsafe with their firearm.
If you have any talents that may benefit the Club, please take the time to talk to the Officers and Board Members to see how you can help. I'm certain they will be glad to have your assistance.
Thank a for the info. I've wondered why they don't post that option on the website anywhere. Seems like an option they don't want people to exercise. I may have to look into it.Lots of pleading via email but in the end just a fee:
Lifetime Memberships are $500 for those 65 and over and $1,000 for 64 and under.
Does anyone that has paid this year actually show their payment as "Received" through that link? My check cleared Feb 9 and when I enter my ID it still shows as not received. I haven't had time to go out there yet, but plan to go soon. Hopefully my card will work at the gate.For those that want to double check status you can do so here: https://indyrange.net/prg/
I just confirmed my card had been received (as opposed to "recieved" which the site showed -- j/k as I do appreciate the confirmation tool)
Mine shows renewed on the page.Does anyone that has paid this year actually show their payment as "Received" through that link?

Thanks for the reminder!That time of year again. Mailed my renewal today.
Appreciate you reaching out to them. I agree with your comments on the PCI side, etc. My wife has a small business and takes payments via quickbooks, etc without anything on her side really, that's all handled on the processor side (though she also manages her invoices, etc with quick books online).Thanks for the reminder!
I'll shamelessly rerepost your earlier link as well: https://indyrange.net/prg/
Minor Update: I did reach out to the board regarding website work. They declined the help/autopay as they said membership was full as it is.
Additionally one of the execs who works professionally in IT said they didn't want to maintain a PCI compliant web environment... (I didn't want to get into a disagreement around the architectural differences between a modern payment processors like stripe whose form contents are embedded iframes and have no PCI requirements on the host's website...)
Anyways, sounds like they are happy with their current process and I can't argue with how quickly they process the postcards being an all volunteer group. Its a great range, and as a new lifetime member, I certainly do not want to upset the balance.
I do wish I had more time to get more involved in such things as running a match, but chasing toddlers around occupies my time these days.
