Worth joining? any members like to share their experience?

[threesixty]

Not worth it IMHO. Nice enough magazine, my local area events are not my scene and I haven't remembered to use the discounts!

I'd suggest checking out your local meet before signing up.

Try the search function and be prepared to write off an hour or two finding out that its about a 50/50% split on opinion.

thanks for that, i thought it might be, i guess it depends on how active your local area is.

Some regions are very active and lay on events, talks, drives, dinners, etc. If you're into that sort of thing, with the added benefit of the monthly magazine and a discount at (most) OPCs, I think its worth it.

Is there a beard equivalent?

[khushy]

I couldnt think of it!

[melv]

It is, as I keep saying, what you put into it.......

And I only grow a beard for the winter.......

Try it for a year and see how you get on.
Many people find 10% discount on goods and services alone recuperates the subscription and more...
Then there are things like a free valuation service, free Certificate of Authenticity (usually £60), access to technical information, special insurance rates and many other benefits. If you're looking to buy a particular model, there'll be help available with what to look out for etc. etc.

Like any other club you tend to get more out if you make an effort to join in. Some people prefer the national Register activities to the Regional events. Either way there's a common interest and a chance to meet any number of like-minded people - and no I'm not PCGB's recruiting officer.

Good advice I guess. I am in the catchment area of Kent and Surrey regions so I could try both. Thanks guys.

I'm a member, two things stand out for me, one is the mag which seems pretty well put together, and more importantly the discount you can get off insurance for being in the club. (I think I saved about the membership cost this year)
Lastly though I don't use it for this, my insurance would cover me on track days if its run by PCGB.

Some good stuff goes on within the club.
Best fun had with the 997 register,they know how to have fun. I want a 997 !!
