The board has a policy that it will only accept members once payment has cleared. This means if they pay by cheque, they are approved subject to clearing and only get a vote from when it clears.
All the four members who signed up at the AGM paid in cash, so they were approved immediately.

One person joined about 30 seconds before!
Out of interest: Did this person then pay the fee in cash before being approved as a member?
