Are you an NRG Member???


Recommended Posts

Silkjc,

It's probably the other way around, to haunt you down when you haven't paid your dues.

Besides it's only visible to yourself and staff of NRG's MSW.

 

But that magazine that comes in the mail, it's worth the money. 

Great articles, history, builds and tricks.

 

Please, visit our Facebook page!

 

Respectfully

Why bother having it displayed in the avatar? Does being a guild member automatically make people a better modeler thus we should trust their posts more? :pirate41:

What?

 

MSW is owned by the NRG. It is in the NRG's interests to increase its membership anyway it can, to promote this hobby, and as MSW is a part of their operations, then I can't see why it would be unusual to have this displayed under their avatar. Whilst you don't need, and never will need to be a member of NRG to access this site, please remember the fact that you can post here today is because of the commitment of the NRG in both financial terms and man-hours in administering. Unlike some hobby sites, MSW doesn't have in-your-face advertising and pop-ups to distract your visit. 

 

In the bigger scheme of things, advertising that a member is a part of the NRG is a simple way to let members know that you can indeed become an NRG member, as well as a member of this site. It does not imply that being a guild member makes you a better modeller. That is pretty absurd.

For those trying to find their NRG member number, and who like me had thrown out the packaging and secretary's letter already, I was able to go into the NRG Store and find it (I think). I selected the option to renew membership and (can't quite remember the exact sequence) it took me to a place where I could see when I last updated my membership (June last year). Their was a four digit reference number on this, so I'm assuming that is my membership number (at Ieast, I'm hoping it is!).

 

Grant, I am afraid that may be your order ID. I looked at mine and have 3 different numbers - assuming we are looking at the same thing. And I see I let my membership lapse for a YEAR!!! Shame in me!

I don't think you see your member number on the store - we don't ask for it and the store and member data base are not linked.  Send an email to the office and ask what your member number is - or call and ask and renew at the same time.:)

 

The email is  info@thenauticalresearchguild.org   Phone is in the Journal - page 1 and on the web site  www.thenrg.org

Thanks Kurt,

 

With no disrespect intended, and at the risk of sounding belligerent, it seems kinda weird that I can't find my membership number when logged in to the site...... that would seem to be a fairly basic piece of information.....

 

I've sent an email as suggested, but should I have to?

Sorry, but the limitations of the web site would make it visible to everybody as there is not a "members only" section.  There is an upgrade in our data base under consideration and members would have access to update personal info and see the member number but it's sometime down the road. 

 

If every member would look at their mailing label - the Spring 2017 issue is in the mail - and record their member number they will have it at hand when needed.

 

Take care,

Kurt
