Quote from: johnfYas Brian but..............................

Would you set up, run, administer, update your own forum, paying for it as well, where you just sat there giving free help and advice to anyone.

That wouldn\'t help your business grow. If I\'m wrong perhaps it\'s worth trying.

To follow your thoughts, if there were no paying members there would be no forum for you to advertise on. So if we were all to become non members, you would loose.

Would someone give me a list of good reasons why it should be free to us all, if I\'m convinved I\'ll join your club of non members.

John I been on here a while now. I Think for the first 2 yeras or so I was on here I was a non member providing help and advise to other forum members. I didn\'t see the need to join at the time but eventually I did. When I did joijn it was my choice, no one condemned me, I wasn\'t made to feel like I owned a piston trying be part of a rotary group neither was I made to feel like a cat tring to a get a job in fish bowl. You get my point? There are way and mean of getting or encouraging people to become full members on this club and being rude, arrogant and petty are no t the most recommended.

I do tend to agree with Brian on this one, The web based forum and the club in my view are two seperate things , and I like to help members and non members alike.
The club part in my view is the discounts and the club meetings which the non memebers dont benefit from , if they want to then they can join

Hi all,

Have to say that I agree with many points from both sides of the fence.

I don\'t want people to feel forced into joining, at the same time - we are building a club, and hopefully everyone is starting to see that we are getting somewhere with it. It does take money to run things, and takes money to put on events etc.

We have come a long way, and it is thanks to all of you that have contributed in one way or another. Hopefully, those who have been on the forum for some time as a non-member will see the benefits in joining (Brian is a great example).

This year should be a great year for the club, we are now in a position to start subsidising track days, and I want to take it as far as hiring a Drag Strip exclusively for MRC only - these things do take money to make happen. AND TIME!!!

We can try and keep pushing the benefits to everyone, like the Track Afternoon at Brands on the 11th. You will see that, if you join the club you virtually will get your money back straight away by attending this event.

Again - I personally don\'t want to see people being pressured into joining, but more of - looking at the benefits of joining the club.

We will be making changes to the Forum and its access in the near future, as voted on by everyone who attended the AGM. This is not in an effort to (excuse my Australian!) \'to p i s s people off\' but to make this club into one of the best Rotary Clubs in the world. We are almost there now.

Peace guys!

.ps rx7veilside - hopefully you got an answer on your post.

This is not just a rotary forum like Ausrotary.
This is the mazda rotary CLUB forum.It is not a seperate entity,but rather an extension and part of the CLUBthat members pay for.
I think that say\'s it all really.
Regards
Carl

Carl · February 16, 2006, 12:30:20 AM

Oh,
And at the AGM it was decided unanimously that there would be changes on the CLUB forum that would encourage non members to join.The details will be apparent very soon I am sure.
Regards
Carl

My point of view is quite simple really,

If you want to be a part of a very friendly active club then join and get the benefits.

If you do not want to be a active member but want advice then continue to do so i have no problem with that.

I joined as i like being a active member and making a difference, was not forced but decided to join to belong to possibly the friendliest club out there at the mo.

Short circuit - dude you wont be ignored if you are a non-member, perhaps no-one had a answer for your question at the time you asked or somthing, theres quite a few threads that sometimes dont get answers for whatever reason :mmmm

From shortcircuit:
"I have tried to join in with some threads only to be ignored, is this becouse i\'m a non-member if I join will every post get an answer ?"

Hi mate -
Don\'t worry, it\'s not personal. This is an equal opportunities forum where members\' posts can be ignored on the same basis as non members\'.

I was a little concerned that no one had answered you - which might have been taken to prove your point. Don\'t give up on us quite yet. Clive has covered the membership thing in his post it seems so...back to the AFR\'s or whatever it was that kicked this off in the first place.
