Don't want to upset anyone but....
I'm a newbie to the Club but have owned a 75 for the last 5years. Since I joined the Club the information, how to's and knowledge I have gained has proved invaluable. This brings me to my point . I pay £2.20 a day for a paper and £2.50 a fortnight for Private Eye and get nothing like the benefit I do from these forums which are available for 20p a week. I don't know how long the subscription has been £10 a year but I'm sure the Club could be helped by a reasonable increase which surely no reasonable member would object to. A bigger stand at NEC and maybe even a bit of help to members ( DaveLincs comes to mind ) who take the time to arrange home get togethers and the nano meets are a few things that spring to mind and other members I'm sure could suggest better uses. I understand that the Club is not there to make huge profits but a an extra fiver or tenner ain't the end of the world even to someone on Universal Credit.

There is a donate button at the top of the page....
Some members don't pay subs for reasons of their own- are you sure you don't want to upset anybody? Let the flame war begin. |

No I really don't. The sum involved isn't worth getting upset about and certainly doesn't justify warfare. It was just a thought. I'm off to the shelter in my tin helmet, this is the bomber county !

Not that close to East Kirkby Trikey. Maybe that's a good thing ! I have no problem with not paying subs but maybe a PM to subscribers could give the option to pay more or not. Would it be ok for me to PM you sometime about T4 query?

What do you think the membership would gain by an increase in "subs"? macafee2 |

I've always paid the annual subscriptions up until this year and have been involved in organising regional meets which have been very successful and have made some great friends also had great advice at these get togethers not once have I or other members who have organised meets representing the club had any support encouragement or thankyou from the top we still have our get togethers without the input of the club so I chose not to pay the subscription I do enjoy browsing through the forum but I've found myself less and less getting involved in any threads maybe some inventiveness from the top would give me the incentive to pay again but for now I'm quite happy been blue

One of the reasons I made the original post was reading about the meets at DaveLincs and others. I was surprised to learn they were not supported by the Club in any way. If you are going to continue with them is there anywhere the details will be available as most seemed to be fairly close and I would be interested in meeting up. Can't beat a good meal and chat. Pete. |
