Very valid points raised David.
I have been through the processes you outlined several times with clubs and
associations. I think I have somewhere a CD outlining the procedures of
incorporation and constitution amendments. If I can dig it up, will pass it on
to the committee if they are interested.
You are correct, you can't do anything these days without incurring a fee
somewhere along the line.

Thanks for that Martin, that is good news. The next issue to consider is
public liability insurance if WAMUG is to continue holding periodic

The fact that WAMUG became incorporated in 1987 is probably not the last
thing that needs to be noted in this regard.
The protection offered by becoming incorporated is well worthwhile, but there
are some obligations in return. A good starting point is:
http://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/associationsguide/index.htm
This has useful information, for example regarding insurance, and also points
to some requirements, such as always using the full name of a society,
including Inc. or Incorporated.
Also, any changes to the constitution must be submitted, for approval, on the
appropriate form:

and accompanied by an appropriate fee:
