Does the club pay for fuel, overnight accomodation and expenses?

No I was being serious Gavin, as other clubs that I belong to do this to encourage members to take part.

Hi Tony,

Sorry I thought it was a joke or sarcasm - we get a fair bit of that.

There are no funds available for those sort of expenses. I have done the NEC show for years & it can be quite costly, but there is nothing the Club can do to help. Most of the membership fees go on Parliamo & the insurance to cover people at these shows, and there is nothing left (much as we would like to help).

If you can suggest a way to raise the money for this though, we are open to suggestions.

Best wishes, Gavin.

Must be very expensive membership!! £1000's a year to cover all that.
I certainly wouldn't pay to be a member of a club that stumped up all the costs for people attending shows that you couldn't attend. Think someone must be living in dream land.

Membership Number: yes

yeah, I want to join!!! Where's my cheque book.

Membership Number: 12302

I belong the De Dion Bouton Owners Club and the club pays for all our members to attend our shows.

Tony

What is the annual membership fees?

Membership Number: 12302

Hi Colin

Annual membership is £50.00 and this I think you will agree represents excellent value for money

Tony

That is quite amazing. Makes you wonder how they do it and where any additional funding must come from.

Membership Number: 12302

That's good for the people attending shows, though I guess only a few of the members benefit from this. It's nice to hear that a Club is able to raise enough to cover those expenses.

If everyone's happy to double their FMC membership fees, we could also fund all the expenses for the attendees at shows - start multiplying £25 by a few hundred and there's plenty in the kitty for shows suddenly. Sadly I don't expect to be killed in a stampede of people saying it's a good idea

We are a very active club and have very few (if any) "armchair enthusiasts"
I don't see the point in being a member of a club if you don't get involved.
It's like so many things in life - you only get out of it what you put in
