Norman Verona Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Trev, it takes a big man to apologise. Respect to you for that. I fully understand your sentiments. However look at it from the opposite side. If the Forum was free, non members can attend area meets and through that probably join in other benefits what's the point of becoming a member or staying a member after the Westfield has been sold. The committee has decided, after long deliberation to entice people to join by offering a trial period. Other car clubs don't even do that. Other car clubs subs are nearly twice ours - as membership falls they raise the price. However, the point of my post is that the committee have spent many many hours the past 3 weeks dealing with, mainly non members, telling them they're wrong, that the forum should be free for them to use and the club was going to hell in a handcart. One member said his contributions were so important he couldn't see how we would carry on without him. He had something like 160 posts in 12 years. Why should I be a member? I don't have a Westfield, I can't get to area meets, I can't benefit from the vast majority of BBs, so why. Because I use the forum, I'm tolerated by most on here, and for that I feel I should be a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsko Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 For what it's worth, I think we're now in competion with facebook. To be fair, facebook extracts other means of payment from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Jackson Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I have to say that to my mind supporting the club means paying the membership fees..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
