From 31 January 2013 all members who have not paid their NZMS fees through their club secretaries will be removed from the 2013 membership list, and will therefore lose access to the members only area of the website (MyNZMS), their ability to swim at NZMS sanctioned meets and a number of other membership only benefits.
