TVRCC Membership Fee Increase
Discussion
The point of the discussion has moved considerably away from the fiver issue Mr T, it's is the TVRCC value for money?
5 pages so far indicates to me that a lot of members feel very strongly about this and committee members (new/existing/seeking election) should read,mark and inwardly digest the feelings of their membership. Clearly we want some way of feeding back our views, yes we can vote by post (and I will) but nowhere on that form is there space or facility for comments about the club. Okay write to Sprint - is there any way of guaranteeing publication?
Attend the AGM? Could do but I really have more important things to do this weekend than drive to Kent and back.
Message to TVRCC
We are the club listen and act on our comments - good or bad!

As Chairman (nominate) I know that there are concerns about how we do things and the value of events. We have to improve the ways things are done and we will.
To pick up on just one topic - the £5000 (just 2% of annual fees) used to sponser Michael Caine was decided as a direct request (and was initially for far more than the Club could afford) from TVR to support a driver. YES - TVR ASKED US. If the Committee had turned TVR down, I question what sort of relationship we would now have with them. The members could not be asked as I understand that the request came in at the 11th hour.
So, let's get this straight. The factory told the club to dip into its pockets, and the committee quaked in their boots and did so?
I now question what sort of relationship the club thinks it has with the factory and what kind of a relationship the factory thinks it has with the club. The two don't sound like the same thing.
Why did the request come in at such a late hour, I wonder.

I have three main aims if voted in:-
(i) Give direction
(ii) Improve communication and coordination; and
(iii) Increase member benefits.
i) what direction? Even a downward spiral is a direction.
ii) What does this mean? Bigger print in sprint?
iii) benefits to the [relative] few or fees to the many?
Not much of a sales pitch, I'm afraid.

There is a lot of uninformed drivel spoken by a lot of people on this thread - even a well known dealer is getting sick of it. See this month's Sprint (page 3).
So let's stop this public bikkering and pull together and make things better.
I would also suggest that many of you should read the rules of posting on this site.
And please do not bother coming back to me as I will not discuss TVRCC business further on this thread.

Charming. You've got my vote. Is this approach from version 2 of "How to win friends and influence people"?
Is this supposed to be indicative of how the committee view democratic discussions of how a proposed increase in subscription is received by the membership?
Haven't read the whole thread so apologies if this has already been said. Being a member of the TVRCC can save much more than the cost of membership on insurance. I know Tesco et al can offer cheap quotes but without track day cover generally higher excess and lower mileage limits.
That has been my experience anyway.

Off on a complete tangent, well almost, say you were a member of the TVRCC in January when your Insurance renewal was due and you went with Mannings, purely on price, nothing to do with TrackDay cover then in Febuary you didn't renew your TVRCC membership
is there a problem?
You will have to tell them. Conditions of insurance dictate, but whether it would make any difference or not will only be discovered on the day.
In my honest opinion Sprint is O.K. as club mags go but with regards to membership it's about all you get down in Devon & Cornwall apart from a two-faced clicky social club - I mean you have to laugh when the R.O. totally slags off a certain member then openly agrees to go to his place in Brittany for a jolly via the club message board!! If you look at it this way then it's overpriced for what you get. If it's just a magazine you want then Evo is where the smart money goes in my opinion.
