membership payment

[RichardK]

I think it will completely do away with the idiots, non-serious people and definitely the spammers.

Several of you guys have even offered more than £10 which is very kind indeed. However, the aim is to keep the club not only fair but run it professionally.

The membership of £10 each per year basically covers the costs of running the site as part of my business (here). The aim isn't to make money out of NissanSilvia.co.uk but to cover all costs involved and enable us to put on proper club events, for example:

• Club stands at car shows in a proper Marquee
• Track days
• Professional entertainment at shows (Pro DJ, sound systems, lighting, lasers, etc.)
• Provide a nominal amount of drinks at events for members
• Develop a proper website, rather than just a forum
• Arrange local & national club meets
• Arrange discounts on products, insurance etc. for club members
• Join forces with other Jap car clubs
• Offer members club branded t-shirts, hoodies, fleeces, etc. at subsidised rates
• Run the forum carefully. With the help of the moderators on the forum side and my office staff on the membership side.

All this is acheivable once membership money comes in. To try and run all this as a free club wasn't a good idea, nor was it possible. Saying that, the club did have to get known and established first, so it had to be done!

Again, many thanks to you guys who have become members and hopefully we'll see lots more join soon!
