The Australian Campdraft Association's management committee will hold the annual general meeting set for April 10 in Cloncurry as an open forum.
The decision follows an online member-led petition questioning the current fee structure.
The petition was written and posted by ACA management councillor for the Western Queensland zone, Tom Gleeson, who declined to comment to North Queensland Register.
In his petition, Mr Gleeson raised concerns about the late membership fee charge, no day memberships and that more consultation with the membership base was needed regarding some of the major decisions.
The petition and feedback is expected to be used to put forward a motion at the ACA annual general meeting in Cloncurry to "delete the late membership charge and reinstate day membership at an affordable rate in line with other associations and societies".
Australian Campdrafting Association's president Rohan Marks said he was aware of the angst among some people, current members or otherwise, over the lack of day membership and the cost of membership in general.
"My advice to those people is to utilise the correct channels to ensure their opinions are heard, and relevant discussions are had at a management committee level," he said.
The annual general meeting will coincide with the ACA finals to be held from April 11 to 15.
