OK All: what am I going to get for my subscription Payment to become a Fully paid up member.... other than I can sell things when I only want to buy things at the moment.....

Do I get anything free .... window sticker? free entry? Free anything.... come on guys sell it to me..... I can do a lot with the membership money on ebay. Like buy a Turbo timer, a T-Shirt, a Rabbit for the wife Embarassed

So come on ....give it to me... sell it baby sell it

You get to be all warm in the knowledge that your money is contributing towards the running of this forum. The forum requires hosting and bandwidth, both of which cost money. There is also the main site with it's FAQs and other useful stuff that needs hosting/bandwidth.

Then, away from computers, there's the events. Places like JAE actually charge for the area the club uses. This isn't paid by the individuals when they pay on the gate, that is merely for access to the event, the actual space on the club pitch that you park on is paid for by GTOUK. Also, at events like JAE you will find a GTOUK gazebo or 6, a fancy BBQ or 2 running most of the day, cooking food for everyone. This is washed down with drinks, both soft and alcoholic, all whilst listening to the radio/CDs on the stereo unit. To keep the kids happy whilst all this is going on, there is usually a TV with playstation running in the corner of the Gazebo. So, what does your money buy? All the above, from the pitch, gazebos, BBQs, gas, lighting, generator, TV, stereo, food, drink, booze and the transport for all this!!!!

So that's what your money is spent on (aswell as other things like a 4 figure sum to stock up on Kormex transmission parts for the GTO/GT, as nowhere in the UK carries a stock of these).

What do you get for your money? Well, everything at JAE is at your disposal. Members get free food and drink at the events, use of the club facilities, and a discount on advace tickets bought through the club. If this isn't enough to float your boat, then there's also the discounts on club merchandise (hats, polo shirts, jackets, etc.), a discount on the CD manual price, and also dealer discounts (Amber Performance, The ECU Doctor, Westfields, WOrldwide Motors and Powell Performance I think offer discounts for full members). Then there is the Mitsu dealerships. The Grimsby one gives 10% discount on all parts for GTOUK members, as do many others. Just ask when ordering your parts.

So, what else would anyone want for £30 a year? Laughing

Steve,

PS, You also get a GTOUK car sticker and a membership card Cool

Steve (Homer) Summed up all the benefits well "Cracking Value For Money" I would say, not to mention the fact that I have had far more that the cost of my subs back in discounts alone.

A VERY satisfied member

To judge the value of the club to yourself just go back and read your own posts regarding car problems. Do a rough calculation as to how many hours you spent doing the work yourself Shocked

(after gaining the info from this site) then apply your local mechanic hourly rate.
You will then feel sheepish about this post Laughing

Its not what you get for becoming a full member its what you can give to the club.

You ask for help and people are happy to respond so why not look at it as your part for helping the club is paying to become a full member.

I've been a member since day 1 of the club and have no problem renewing every year Very Happy
