Working with membership accounts

[Jill Terry]

Just back from holiday so just seen this and you may already have 
organised yourself.  I cannot of course comment on any legalities that 
may be for your country/area, I am in the UK.

However, I am Treasurer for a non-profit organisation whose income is 
from annual membership subscriptions and entries to events held 
throughout the year, as well as selling a few products.

Our club does not send invoices out and I therefore do not do invoices, 
or indeed customers, in GnuCash.   I merely do a transaction when I 
receive payment, and make sure that I put the member's name in the 
description. That way when I need to see who has paid what I simply do a 
search for their name (Edit > Find).

Cheers
Jill

Since we are planning to increase our membership dramatically over the next few years, I decided it might be good to start using an accounting software. Our budget is small, we have only one bank account and a paypal account, and our income is from membership fees and project funding.
