Have I been exxycommunicated?

Hi folks

Has anyone else had trouble with their membership renewal? Mine was up on 1st August and I posted my cheque the week before expiry.

I received the latest club mag but I don't think my cheque has been cashed and two emails to membership@x1-9ownersclub.org.uk have gone unanswered.

I want to contribute my £25 to the club (especially if I'm still receiving mags - I don't want to 'sponge' freebies!), plus membership is a condition of my insurance - so it's quite important really.

Cheers

Simon

ditto :!:
Maybe It's an Aberdeen thing.

I'd emailed the membership team of my move from Loughborough to manchester.
I recently went back to visit mum back in Loughborough. Fortunately she knows my ex landlord and landlady, who popped around with one item of important post delivered to my old address....yes, the missing August club magazine!! :roll:

I have been in similar situations when I did the regalia, so would recommend no one rely solely on email alone, or/and allow 28 days for processing of enquiries etc, and have a little patience, as I know the membership roles in particular, are pretty demanding roles for our volunteers ie no one is paid for doing what they do..
I think the standard phrase of all who complain at this stage might be that the roles are all coming up for renewal at the AGM, so stick your hand up if you want to help out.......I feel the likes of our Frosty and Robo will probably be eternally grateful

Don't get me wrong - I'm not annoyed or owt :lol: - I just wanted to check - especially cos of my insurance (hey - you know what insurance companies are like - any excuse :x )

So does that mean grimy and myself are still members then?

Cheers

Can I second that. I realise that membership is a hard thankless job and am humble in the presence of people who have given up their time to help the club members.

Hang on when I put my hand up to apply for the the membership position nobody said it was a thankless role....!!!!!

Ohh well...its not putting me off!!!! :lol:

I JUST KNOW YOU ARE THE MAN FOR THE JOB ANDY, HELP IS ONLY A PHONE CALL AWAY.

Just read these comments......

As emails do tend to go missing, it would be better if anyone with queries with membership phone either Daryl or Myself. We don't bite!

Unfortunately this forum has been the demise of a few committee members.

Hi Jochen,
Was sorry to hear you and Darryl would be getting your lifes back, and agree totally about the demise thing. Would certainly not want to go there again.
On a brighter note, this forum has also seen the introduction of new committee members too. Lets not forget you Andy , and way back then on the second edition forum Bones set up (the original one wasn't much cop...more a message board) a little known chap called Paul Marrah posted some heated complaits about how bad the events listing in the Home Counties region was. Several then committee members challenged him to put put some action to his words and take matters in his hands. Shortly afterwards we saw Paul get voted in to the committee. In my opinion he has been instrumental in the stirring up and gathering of the now strong Home counties posy, passing on the baton to our Kev, and moved on to continue to be a strong active voice in his co ordinators role...an active voicing perhaps at times when the rest of the committee were a little too passive. The club needs the mixture of characters, and at times 'thick skinned' volunteers to keep this excellent club together....
but yes, mixed messages and confusing text on a forum can cause problems, and agravate a situation, where a phone call can clarify matters.

Hi chaps

Membership stuff received this morning - thanks!

Cheers

Simon
