[Artemisia] FW: NMS and Site Fees

[JD Gibson]

>   I went through this when the NMS came out a few years ago, even going 
>into
>detail with the Society President and Exchecker.  It SHOULD only be charged
>on the standard 'Adult' rate (like  both the Pre-Reg and At-Gate fee for
>Adults (14+) at Uprising.  On a Daypass fee for Adults at a larger event, 
>it
>is optional, and for other fee items (minors etc) there should be NO 
>charge.
>The NMS is $3 which goes directly to Corporate for society expenses.  It
>should be stated that a group however MAY charge more, or even add their 
>own
>additional NMS fees to minors if they choose to temp increased membership.
>(Example, the NMS for Uprising is $5 and Estrella is $10, I forget what
>Pensic is.)  Artemisia is strong on such temptations for membership, 
>example
>out requirement of membership to be able to get Authorized to fight.
>Membership does afterall pay our biggest expense, insurance.
>Now, the key to your question is if those groups are charging the fees to
>minors on-purpose, or because they have been misinformed.  Only one way to
>know, ask.  If they are unsure, have them talk to the kingdom exchecker or
>scenishal.

>:-under membership and questions about NMS it states that a
>:-non-member fee is not charged on a discounted minor fee for an
>:-event but at every event I have been to I am being charged this
>:-for my 6 yr old. Is it due to a lack of acurate information given
>:-to people at Troll or a misunderstanding of the policy?
>:-  Why is the non-member fee listed as $5.00 for Uprising when the
