Hello Lads,
This thread has a lot of issues in it.....
Can I firstly say that I think the club is great and thanks to all the lads who put in their own time and effort at no expence
I used the club for "web based info etc" initally and found it to be very helpfull with friendly members. But after attending the AGM last week and getting details on a number of meets etc, which are funded / part funded by the club, I think 50.00 is money well spent. Its not a lot and if you intend to go to a few meets, you will get it back as said before.
Can I suggest that when you review the changes in one months time, that you consider an "associate" member as an option for people.
As a number of people see the club as a fourm and not as a culb with meetings etc, the ISDC could charge a reduced fee for "Associate Membership" with access to all of fourm. This would entitle them to access all areas of the fourm, for sale, techincal Q&A etc, but they would not be entitled to discounts etc for club events.
As there is a reduced fee applicable, this should stop people spamming, posting up rubbish etc. As only legit people would be prepared to pay a reduced fee, for all the info etc available on the site.
This might help to resolve issues with people from the abroad or people who have no intention attenting club events etc.
Its only a suggestion.... :dunno:
Thanks,
Michael
