Membership expires..

.. June 25th, damn .. I'm sure I read somewhere that we had colour magazines included in the membership..

Like every one else send your Colour Photos and articles to the editor

Same old story if the editor has no colour photos then he just have to wait which in turn means we all wait for the magazine

we have a new editor who has got great intentions but as he is new to the job a bit of patience i am sure will pay off

New colour mag ready, just waiting for some club official inserts and its ready to go to the printers.

Yay!

great work mark

Wont be renewing membership this time as I cannot justify shelling out £30 just for 'membership' access! As the next mag is near completion/dispatch, as a token jesture it would be nice to think I will be sent one, but wont lose any sleep if not.
Thanks for info shared etc and bye. Daz

its not just about the mag,you get cheaper insurance,cheaper parts,free technical advice upto 10pm ....not to mention meet other owners/fans of these great cars....the magazine needs contributors...have you ever written an article,sent in pics etc if not why not? we have to give the editor something to print!!

Hi Daz,
Sad to hear your not renewing your membership. The club's not just about a colour mag (brilliant though they are). It's about a car that we all have fun with. I've been on many great trips with the club and met some great people. I've needed advice and parts from experts like Rachel and Tiff and they have come up trumps. I've got a working car because Tiff gave me a gearbox and Ewen got me out of a fix in Dunoon with brake parts. Guy has given me loads of parts for my 1300 for which I'm very greatful. And many others have helped me. In return I hope I've helped a few people too. In fact did I not send you a part for your gearbox? I think £30 is a bargin and I'll be renewing for sure.

Hey Daz,

I think you've been a great member of the forum / club - it's a shame you've decided not to renew.

I'm with Grimy.
According to our esteemed membership sec, I've been a member for over 22 years! So it might have cost me £500 all in. Can't buy a week in Spain in August for that price!
Just been discussing insurance on another thread, cost me £103 this year, cheapest "normal" insurance with Churchill - £177. So my £30 membership has saved me £74, no brainer on cost effectiveness.
Been bailed out of the s**t a few times myself, anyone remember Bob and his lad Dave from Liverpool? Going back 12-15 years now, Bob spent a whole afternoon at Tatton one year putting the driver's window back on its runner on my old 1300.
Only Sparks fans come close to the warmth and cameraderie shown by X1-9 enthusiasts, but that's another story...

Thanks guys... I know the mag has been sporadic of late... it will be better... I have it on good authority... We lose a few but we gain a few as well. Depending on when Daz lapsed, he may get the new one but if he lapsed before I did the labels for the printer, then he won't.

Daz has been a great contributor on this forum I feel we should send him a copy of the new mag regardless

I agree

But rub out the forum log-on details - that's a perk of membership.
