Affiliate Membership > Membership Application Process
If you are interested in membership a form can be downloaded from our website, or you can telephone or email the membership department who will send you the form. Once the appropriate membership form has been returned to the N.A.G.’s head office at Luke Street, the form is checked and any sponsor forms and trade reference forms sent out if necessary. There are then three stages of the process:
Membership Committee Meeting
Every three months the Membership Committee meets to look through forms that are complete, ie with all sponsor forms and trade reference forms returned, all photographs of shops where necessary, and all other forms completed and returned.
Board Meeting
If the Membership Committee approves your application it will then be taken to the Board Meeting for approval. This committee meets every three months also and usually within a week of the Membership Committee meeting.
The Jeweller Circulation
All applicants will have their name and the name of their company (where applicable) printed in the ‘New Applicants’ section of the N.A.G.’s magazine The Jeweller. The magazine is published every two months. Any readers of the magazine are given the opportunity to contest the application within three weeks of the release date of the magazine.
Acceptance of Application
Once all three stages of the membership application have been successfully passed, the applicant will be sent a membership pack with all the information required to get them started with our benefits and services.
