Why aren't you a member
That's a nice example of non paid up members being treated like second class citizens.

In which way? Clearly paid up members enjoy more benefits and have a say in the way the Club is run.

Having said that when i played junior rugby "subs" of about ?5 was a requirement to play each week………
Like i said im sure more people would pay up if it was less to join, so the increase in numbers joining would make up for the revenue "lost" so to speak………

even the most militant have to agree that the club needs cash to exist.
so here's my idea you pay ?5.00 per year with NO benefits at all just a clear conscience that you where doing your bit and not selfishly free loading.
or pay ?10-20 and receive discounts where applicable.
everyone's happy and on one need know which type of member you are as it would be marked up on the profile as Member..

I've already penciled in significant savings on parts, panels etc relative to the club annual fees. I'll post them soon for you all to see.

as a non paid member ive been treated the same as a paid member ok i dont get the discounts ect but im part of the club i helped organise the clubstand at vw action which was awesome
so i feel that all the people that say non members should pay up or leave are the real problem i would quite happily pay for membership if i needed to
each and everyone of us brings something to the club with there wealth of knowledge ect ect so as things stand at the moment i think any change in the wrong direction by the club would kill it
how many members have paid ? out of all the people who log on

I'm unsure what you mean by if you needed to? do you mean if you got something out of it personally, or if the clubs survival depended on it?bens_cab said

but to lure people to pay the club need to do something a bit special other than discounts which probally most people dont use
ive read this whole thread and feel like because im a non paying member im worthless i dont expect to have a say in what the club does but surely people should be treated with the same respect member or not!

just on this thread alone we have had 41 different contributors
23 None paying members and 18 paid up members
so to answer the early question on how many members log on and post here is a snapshot make of the figures as you will.

something is puzzling me here you say you have been watching for sometime and feel the club is going nowhere so why did you join just 9 days ago? what was the draw what pulled you in to a club which in your words is dying????golf1 said
IMO-the bottom line is that the forum is dying, members are leaving almost daily and the excitement factor on a scale of 1-10 is about 1. I've been a watcher for sometime now and have slowly watched the painful demise of this forum. Its a shame as this site was once, the best of the best. Real characters such as walt, mad4it, dinky etc have departed to new pastures…poor (sick)owners club.

the club or website isnt dying weve just pickup up a few people along the way who feel the need to slate the place and do as they please
i think members with a post count lower than 50 replying to this thread is funny
