It's nominal, but it could add up to more than the annual dues. And "members in good standing" get first priority for signing up for classes. These are the active members, who attend meetings, demonstrate, etc. Second priority is to members who pay dues but don't participate in guild activities. Non-members get into classes only when there's still space. Robin P.
