Well I think this thread has run it's course now. The committee are aware of this thread and will make a decision on any changes if necessary. Therefore we're closing this thread. With regards to Guest posting, it was the intention to leave it open for 1 week so we're slighly overdue but that has been fixed now. Admin

Thanks for the answer in the other thread; I thought that might be the case. What's the old quote about "no helpful deed goes unpunished"? Thanks chaps and chappesses (if that's a word). Huge amount of effort and time, the silent majority DO notice, and I'm sure DO appreciate it. Thank you.

Chap you seem to have either an attitude problem or a big chip on your shoulder. There is no clique here that I am aware of. Some people appear more vocal because they choose to post their opinions, others may think there is no point in multitudes offering up similar thoughts. The "clique" that make the decisions are the elected officials of the club, the membership is free to challenge their decisions and ask questions to a generally sympathetic and helpful committee. Just because members appear to agree on an issue doesn't make it a clique/cabal or secret society.... No one is deliberately rude or obstructive to enquiries from newbies to the site, quite the contrary in most cases. The reality is that in terms of the forum, the only thing that non-members can not do is PM. Hardly a big problem I would have thought? You seem determined to attempt to provoke a divide twixt non members and members..... There is no divide, non-members are welcomed with open arms, they just have slightly fewer forum privileges...That's it, simples. Get over yerself, move on and enjoy the forum for what it does well rather than espousing negativity over a very minor issue... Myself I'm off to Autosport...Byeeeee..... :d

putting all this to one side - a sensible suggestion? how about adding the benefits of becoming a paid up member in a graphic at the top of the page so everyone can see exactly why they should pay up inc things like cheaper insurance and all the full boardroom benefits etc etc just a thought

there is nothing stopping a newbie or anyone who is thinking of buying a westfield coming on to these forums and asking as many questions as they want THEY DONT HAVE TO IMEDIATLY PAY £30 TO JOIN they can do that if they choose to ,but if they dont join,why should they be allowed the privilages of paying members if they get all the benefits for free they are less likley to join ,so whats the point the club does NOT run itself for free ,newbies are allways made more than welcome and there questions answered (unless there dumb A*** ones) i have known nanna's for donkey's years and i do value his opinion ,what i dont value is people who think they have a opinion when really they have no argument at all to start with

Guys. Its my first birthday today. This time last year the docs had just about taken me off the list of nearly dead and moved me on to the he just might make it list. Its been a long year but this place keeps me :-) Keep up the good work all and remember its just for fun :-):-):-)

My personal view for what its worth is that this thread has gone on long enough. Everyone has certain access without the need to pay anything so consider that a bonus and an insight into what you could be getting if you joined up. Once you have paid you receive certain benefits which you don't get if you haven't paid which I believe is the general premise of a "membership" or "club". Pay up or shut up I guess in an undiplomatic way to put it. You get a feel for the club then and only when you want to join do you need to pay anything. If you don'y pay your green fees to can't dictate to the members. Basic rules please lets drop this one as it is putting the general membership into a position of seemingly having to defend themselves and for what reason. Its a friendly site with a lot of general p**s taking in part and loads of free advice, use it as that. Starting to sound like SteveD but then when your listening to whines and moans why not goodness me. Lets get back to normaility, wheres the pringles then Bob

I cannot believe the sheer weight of whining going on because certain non-members who expect something for nothing and can't be asked or are too thick to open a new tab and do a Google search of the boardroom. You can see how to do this on the very first page of this thread. If you can't manage to do that, I'm amazed you even think of touching a keyboard - you should certainly never be allowed near a motor vehicle. The Westfield information in the boardroom, gathered over many years, has a real value. The club has the right to charge to DIRECTLY search for that information in THEIR site. Moreover, if you're too thick or lazy to use Google, the many, many experienced and enthusiastic MEMBERS will, without fail, answer your questions and even provide links from searches they do at no cost to yourself. You can get anything you want...but you're whining because you can't have it on one screen instantly for free. Well, boo hoo hoo. You'll get over it.

yeh and being a pr**k does not help either
