It's everyone's favorite time of the year:>))

Renewals will be going out shortly, and we hope everyone renews for 2007 and don't forget to invite your friends. But if for some reason, you or your club will not be renewing, please contact your SEKG secretary as soon as possible. If the correct paperwork is not completed on time, DVG Germany will hold your Schutzhund friends in the SEKG responsible for your club's member dues.

As a side note, a $5 per member surcharge was voted on and passed at the the 2007 meeting in Tulsa to offset expenses for Nationals, so look for an increase.

From the DVG website:
A4. Why do we have to renew for the next year's membership so early in the year?

Mostly, this is the fault of those clubs in the past which decided to disband and neglected to notify anyone of that fact. Germany must be notified of all club cancellations by the end of September, or they will automatically renew those clubs and the LV and KG's end up paying dues for those ex-members who have gone merrily on their way.
In order to prevent this, most of the KG's require that clubs show proof of renewal by having all renewals and new memberships for the coming year turned in by mid-September. You must understand, also, that there is a lot of processing time needed by the regional membership officers as well as our LV Treasurer. Germany doesn't have to have the information (except for canceled clubs) until much later in the year, but it takes a great deal of time for the LV Treasurer to process a 1,000 odd memberships, cancellations, etc., and make sure they're all correct before sending them on to Germany.
