Steve-300ZX Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Dear Members, As you all know, for the past few years, we have been selling annual Club Calendars for members and registered users to purchase. This issue was discussed in depth at our last Committee meeting in June of this year. One of the major problems in previous years was the number of calendars we managed to sell, meaning the unit cost per calendar was simply too high. We discussed the possibility of offering Subscribed Members a free calendar, using club funds instead of charging our members. This would enable us to buy in large quantities and therefore dramatically reducing the unit cost per calendar. We have decided to proceed with this option for one year and see how it goes. We will review again next year and hopefully if it proves a success, we will look to continue offering a free calendar to our members. How do I qualify for a free calendar? As long as you are a fully paid up subscribed member, you will receive a free club calendar. How do I know you have my up to date address and postcode? If you have moved house in the past couple of years or if you are unsure if we have your correct details, you MUST contact the Membership Secretary ( 300zx_girl ) with your correct details. It goes without saying, if we do not have your correct details, you will not receive your calendar. It is the responsibility of the Subscribed Member to ensure the club has their correct details. Will our annual subscriptions increase as a result of the free calendars? No. We have no plans to increase annual subscriptions. We will offer free calendars for one year and review next spring. I am a Registered User. Can I have a free calendar? No. However, you do have a couple of options to get a calendar. Option1; You have the option to subscribe to the club, receiving a free Club Membership pack and qualifying you for a free annual calendar (£20 for 1st year and £15 there after) Option 2; You may have the opportunity to purchase a calendar after all subscribed members have received theirs. They will be priced at £10 each, however, the numbers will be limited, as we will be ordering the number based around how many subscribed members will have in our member’s database. When will we receive our free calendar? We plan to have the calendars designed, manufactured and distributed before the end of November. How is the Committee deciding on the format of the calendars and can I have my car featured in next year’s calendar? This issue was also discussed at the Committee meeting. We felt that this was another problem with previous year’s calendars. Only 12 Club members had their car featured each year, leaving a lot of unhappy members. We have decided to offer one month to each of our Regional REO’s. They will be asked to forward some high quality / resolution pictures of the best meet they have held in 2008. This will give us the opportunity to feature many more club cars, rather than just one car per month. We will be looking for group shots with ideally, some good scenery. I will be contacting the REO’s over the next few days with more details. We hope this decision will be a big success and look forward to your support. Regards Steve-300ZX Club Secretary Quote
