I have concerns that £5 membership is justified. Im not talking about myself, im taking about person a, who comes along and thinks:
'hmmm, what do i get for £5'?
I think this needs to be addressed.

He gets full acsess to the forum
Membership card
Acsess to our discounts page
But dont forget time is taking a toll on work we can do - this week ive been mainly looking at getting membership cards made up.
A fiver isn't much imo. It will seem like better and better value as the club gets bigger and we can attract more discounts/events/other stuff. I'm still to pay my fiver as i've been in the "Dam" for a while but now i'm back I shall be sending my cheque off straight away, I see it more as investing for the future of the club. Anyway you don't have to become a member, a newbie could come along and use the forum for a while and if they like what they see they could pay their fiver and get the full monty
IMO the forum should have full access to everyone.
For my fiver person a would want:
A technical section that is EASY to follow.
A comprehensive buyers guide
and a full registry of cars
A video section
Person A doesnt see any of these at the moment. :D
A technical section that is EASY to follow. (NOT GOT ONE YET)
A comprehensive buyers guide (NOT GOT ONE YET)
and a full registry of cars (unless its been finished NOT GOT ONE YET)
A video section (NOT GOT ONE YET)
but most of this will happen over time.
The new website should be upand running by Monday next week....With the new forum.
But there will be alot of links to pages that will be underconstruction untill i have finished the design and content.
Im not having a go, but im just pointing out if i came across this site, would i pay a fiver?
In present guise: NO
And have u payed your £5'er ? heehee i know what your saying mate -
Its all work in progress mate...its only since january has the new site and plans been layed out.
U keep your £5'er for the window sticker mate !
It was originally put forward, that IF you wanted to, you could send a fiver to contribute towards the cost of setting up the new site, this was intended as a more attractive alternative than merely changing the name. The benefits were you would get to be a " Founder Member " and also receive a free window sticker. However, and I am not surprised the costs of doing this have proved prohibitive, hence the £5 now required to buy the sticker.
I believe that this is both reasonable and fair!! given the amount of unpaid work that has and will be put into this forum, and soon to be club. I for one am more than happy to do this and watch the site/club grow. I assume that if we don't contribute now the costs will all have to be met by Fatboy + Northy. C'mon all you guys who have visited this site and benefitted from the invaluable info available on this forum and SHOW THEM THE MONEY!! :D Not looking to be controversial but thats my opinion
I was looking at if from 'Mr Jo average, thinking of buying a Williams / just bought one, doesnt know much about them' logging on for the first time.
At the moment, there is no incentive to pay to join.
That is all i am saying.
