For the purposes of this rule the term “personal data” shall be given the meaning assigned to it under the Data Protection Act (as amended from time to time). 2.10 Every member may inspect at all reasonable times during business hours and subject to any reasonable restrictions imposed by the GGCA Executive Committee the financial accounts of the Union. 2.11 The rights and privileges of all classes of member shall be personal to the member and shall not be transferable by the member’s own act or by operation of law.

2.14 The GGCA Executive Committee may determine a subscription rate or rates for members who are members of a Branch under Part 3 of these Rules.

2.15 Any fully paid up member who is absent on long term sickness absence shall not be required to pay subscriptions from the time the member’s salary is abated until such time as the member resumes work or retires, during such time there shall be an entitlement to the full benefits of membership. 2.16 Retired members, in lieu of paying an annual subscription, may pay a single subscription of such an amount in respect of such a period as may be determined by the GGCA Executive Committee. 2.17 A member joining in the course of a subscription year is required to pay in respect of the remainder of that year only such a proportion of the annual subscription as corresponds to the number of complete calendar months remaining for that year. 2.18 A fully paid-up member may at any time after giving notice to the GGCA National Secretary change from one method of payment to any other method of payment provided that there shall be no arrears of subscription after the change has been effected.
