I love the fact the forums are free, its a refreshing change and keeps the group current, numbers, raffles and the like are all good ideas, Im also happy to donate, maybe we could put together a WB patch or pin and sell them also to add funds, Wristabands are very popular right now, I would happily sport a sticker on my bike too if anyone has any, little things that add presence are a great way forward.
Either way keep up the good work and don't change it. ::)
Remember to bring your £12 for a 100 Club number either on a Wed Harp night or to the Xmas Party or Meal. This made over £600 last year but need you all to buy a number..
I would be very happy to pop a pound in for every ride out. Maybe on each ride out you could have a competition for a pound or two extra, say a poker run or something similar.
Happy to bung a £ in the pot if it means I can continue to wind my mate RedKen the jock up ;D ;D...worth every penny :-* ;)
This issue came up in the car club a few years back. The solution there was a voultary membership of £10pa. The membership entitled you to a members only section in the site and first refusal for free tickets/ show stand space/ other benifits.
This worked very well and most people joined. There was no feeling of two tier as the system was strictly voulnatry and non members were welcomed.
Just a thought. :)
Anyone interested in a Wiltshire Bikers Calendar????
YOU will take and submit pictures, the best of which will be selected to appear on the calendar.
The calendar will be prepopulated with WB dates, i.e. Offical Monthly run, Christmas meal and weekend trips, plus general dates like MOTOGP, bike shows etc.
Not sure on price yet, but will be very competitive to a generic calendar with fluffy kittens, cute dogs, quaint cottages or spotty boy bands that you could by in the shops!

Sorry for going off topic :-[ :-/
What about offering members in business an enhanced paid for membership which gives them the option of having an advert with contact details in their signature.
I use a business forum which does that - they charge £36 per annum for full members and free membership for others. They also have a strict rule that business users using the forum can only post advertising type messages if they have full membership. It works very well.
Any bike and bike related businesses in Wiltshire have a great opportunity to gain local business from using the forum and £30 to £40 per annum to do so is very cheap advertising.
