[VicPiMakers SG] Increase in Meetup costs

[Craig Miller]

Hi All,

We had a short discussion about this topic after today's meeting. But 
for those who weren't there, Meetup has increased their fees 
dramatically (was $110 USD/6 months, now is $200 USD/6 months). I just 
got the charge on my credit card for Sept 2024->March 2025.

In searching around, I found this notice of the increase:

https://www.meetup.com/blog/new-organizer-pricing-key-improvements/

Here's the receipt I received:

*Summary*
*Meetup*
Meetup Subscription: 6 Months
178.99   USD
*GST (5%) *
8.95   USD
*PST (7%) *
12.53   USD
*Tax (12%) *
21.48   USD
*Total*
*200.47   USD*

Tax at exchange rate 1.37 (indicative)
29.32   CAD

We have time before we get another bill from Meetup (March 2025). I 
suggest we think of another platform where people are looking for 
meetings (which is what Meetup is good for) and discuss moving to 
another platform at the next Steering Group meeting (in Nov?).

In the mean time, we can use this thread to discuss.

regards,

Craig...
