Dear Associates and Friends of
SPAT
The Portuguese Society of Arthros-
copy and Sports traumatology
(SPAT) is a scientific entity that
promotes, disseminates and
instructs in a very specific area of
ortho-traumatology. Its past has
revealed how useful it has been for
medical training and its present
and future ensures the continua-
tion of quality and commitment in
the training of skills in the areas of
arthroscopy and traumatology of
sport. We have developed several
actions (conferences, journeys,
courses, laboratory corpse, among
others), supported several scien-
tific events, supported fellowships,
promoted scientific research and
dissemination, notably through
this magazine. All these actions
have their costs and sometimes
difficult to pay in due time. The
regular and prompt payment of
the quotas by the members is an
essential tool for the pursuit of
these activities. We want the sup-
port of current and future associ-
ates, not only in the fulfilment of
this simple obligation, but also
through the scientific contribu-
tion. We want to have members
in SPAT, so we present a new plan
for collecting quotas and, at the
same time, the motivation of our
partners, so the board of the SPAT
has deliberated the following:
• Associates who have not paid
their dues for more than 10
years will have a 5-year pardon
and can pay twice (300 + 300€)
and they will receive a screen
printing (attached image);
• Associates who do not pay the
quotas between 5 and 10 years
will have the forgiveness of 3
years and receive the screen
printing as soon as they make
the payment in full;
• New associates receive screen
printing as long as they make
advance payment for the next
three years.
This plan is valid until 31
October 2018. We remember that
the annual quota is only €60. It is
believed that the non-payment
occurs by default, so the payment
is stimulated by bank transfer. Fail-
ure to comply with this plan leads
to the exclusion of the associate.
