the reason for this is to cut down on the paperwork for the board. Running this club is a HUGE undertaking, and they already spend loads of time on important stuff (making sure the club meets govt regulations, organising events, maintaining the forums, etc etc). basically having all memberships expire on the same day means that stitty is mostly bugged over a 2 week period rather than all year round
additionally, it really isn't a big fee, and once the first year is over it's all the same.
