The annual fee is $45 for new members and $30 for renewals and operates on a calendar year basis.  There is no pro-rating or partial year fees.  These fees go toward the maintainance and enhancement of the field and facilities.  All Renewals must be paid in January.  Any membership fees outside of January will be charged the full $45.

Chiefland Star Party Group is a group of astronomers and sky observers, and the field is designated for those purposes -- general camping and recreation on the field, at any time, is not a privilege of CSPG Membership.

Memberships paid in November and December will be valid until the end of the next calendar year.
