Instant Membership

One of the difficulties people face in joining a chess association, or subscribing to a magazine, is actually getting around to it. Writing a cheque or getting a money order from the post office, and then having to address a letter, followed by actually posting in it, is often too much like hard work. And I'm just as bad as the next person.
So of course it would be much easier if you could just click a button and transfer the money directly.
That is why I've added a button that allows you to join the Correspondence Chess League of Australia (CCLA). All you need to do is click on the "Subscribe" button in the top right corner and fill in the payment details. Most importantly put your postal address in the "billing address" details so the CCLA know where to send the quarterly magazine. The system (managed through Paypal) accepts both Paypal payments, as well as credit card payments.
Now the point of this isn't to make money (as I get nothing from the transactions) but to see whether ease of payment is a contributing factor in membership rates. One of the objections for a direct membership scheme to the Australian Chess Federation has always been the mechanism for collecting payments. Assuming that people can now pay directly, this objection can probably be dispensed with.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real income.
It's all about how to select a proper partner who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the income with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
