Membership fee question

Right, my scamp will defo be on the road this year, so obviously I'll be needing to take out some membership of my own...........
Now, is there a 'family Membership' package available at a slightly discounted price, or will we both need to buy individual membership each paying the full standard fee?

Cheers in advance,
Elaine.

Keep yer money in your pocket, only one membership fee is required

What, even though I paid for/own mine, and Reg does his, with the log books reflecting this? I ain't one of these freeloading wimmin you know!
If so, does that mean that a large family (each with a scamp) could join, and only pay one lot of membership fee?

To give you an idea of what I meant - The Peugeot club offer 'Family Membership' (if you all live under one roof) where you get most of the usual benefits, but only received one magazine, etc for the household. If you each want a magazine, etc then you each pay the regular membership fee.....

I'm just thinking of the future. If we all pay a little bit, it'll take us a long way,
Elaine.

The SOC membership IS a family membership to a family club, Now thats value for money insn't it?

We've always tried to keep things simple and you tend to find that individual family members with a scamp often have separate memberships, like me and my dad a few years ago. So it doesn't make much difference really.

That's what I was getting at really, when my own Scamp is in on the road I will be wishing to buy my own membership (I just wondered if there were various types).

I think it boils down to:

1) What expenses do the fees go to cover, and how far do they depend on the number of members, cars or households?

2) A no-brainer, this: how far do we want to encourage family, rather than individual, participation?

3) Is there an unfairness problem, real or perceived, or could one arise?


Personally I'm happy with the present system and all for "if it ain't broke then don't fix it".

Ooops, I seem to have opened a can of worms! This wasn't what I intended..... I was simply making a membership enquiry as I wasn't aware of the present system.
I know nothing of the membership side of the club even though I've been around for 6+ years because we only had one Scamp in the household Reg's, and he arranged the payments for that, so treat me as a new comer.

Cheers,
Elaine.

What all of it?

It certainly is........... I wouldn't have even bothered asking if there's a discount package if I'd have known it was that cheap.

Good value dear - not cheap!!!!

Now I may have missed this........but did we ever get the Standing Orders printed in Scampers...

Automatic Payment every year has got to make someone life easier.....and people are less likely to cancel/leave, etc

Sorry, I keep poultry 'cheep' just comes as part of it.

You can feed them your can of worms then...

Wake up Muttley - several members pay by standing order and have done for a number of years, I am sure this method of paying your annual membership has been written up in magazine, Mr Bridger can put it the next mag and leave it as a note somewhere so that new members know about it, if I remember this subject was raised at last years AGM, the SOC banks with Barclays and Nettie obtained more copies of their standing order forms which can be sent out on request to members. So all you have to do is send an email to scampownersclub@yahoo.co.uk and Nettie will send you one.
