Shed some light on this one?

Can anyone tell me if you get any type of membership card, or proof that you are a member of this 4x4 club, i am a payed up member, but never seen out, Only insurance said if i am in 4x4 club will get the old insurance cheeper, Thought i fancy a bowl of that :) Just need the proof

[extreme-4x4]

hmm tricky one, the club dont issue cards.
and as far as im aware you dont have membership numbers.

i guess the only way forward is a letter from bat confirming you are indeed a member of the club

he could put this in the downloads section, for everyone to use

Hi , [I]ve been a member for two years and never seen a membership card or anything of the like sorry cannot be any more helpful

o right, who is bat ,, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bat is the chap that owns the site. Technically its not a club as such, but a pay to view website (a club has a different legal meaning) like just about every other 4x4 site on the net, hence the lack of membership cards, but I'm sure if Bat can come up with something your insurance company won't know the difference!

That will do for me. i need to track him down, now,

[(RIP) PLANK]

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

me too, but that was from club in old guise as .co.uk under
old management shak1e and mav....

same as me then, i have a card but no Nissan :o

[paulp]

seems to be a good idea - optional maybe.

would be willing to pay a little extra as it does save money on the insurance

paulp

[(RIP) PLANK]

a good idea maybe upgrade to a 'premium member' and extra £1 or so a year and get a card and a sticker or simmilar. what do you think?

[paulp]

sounds good

paulp

[(RIP) PLANK]

if i can find my card shall we auction it :lol

[extreme-4x4]

itll never happen

[(RIP) PLANK]

itll never happen

ok so i may not find the card, i'm hopless i know, but no need to be rude :lol

[extreme-4x4]

i ment the cards or premium member thing ...... itll never happen



i say that to try and push bat into doing it ..... id like a card

and a sticker

[(RIP) PLANK]

i was just being silly :thumbs it is unlikely though i agree.

[Adz]

I agree that a card would never happen & due to cost :rolleyes:

But...:augie

How about a club certificate like you get with your vehicle insurance :D

It wouldn't cost much for a sheet of A4 / envelope & a 2nd class stamp :augie

[(RIP) PLANK]

the msot cost effective would be a sef print one (as already sugested) accesible only to members, as it's the time and effort it takes as well.

or a download print your own then ........


think of the money im saving bat here lol

[(RIP) PLANK]

to be fair downlads are ok, but:

what we need is guilt edged platic cards with holograpic club images and the members photo bonded in, what do you all think?

[dinky]

Most of the old core have got cards,dont think think they have been issued since BAT took over.Look in members list your number might be there or get Bat to confirm,

i mean come on its a bit boy scouts init in this day n age .... christ what next membership numbers or rank numbers

[supertaff]

Don't forget lads, if you go shopping for parts in a supplier that gives discount to club members, having a card to show at the counter ( got mine, www.nissan4x4ownersclub.co.uk club member 583 ) could put you quids in !!

[tezzer]

in my local town centre there is a print machine that you can design you own cards, and then print them out, im sure it was about £5.00 for 50 cards, i'll see if the machine is still there, next week, :thumbs:D

[dinky]

This will keep cropping up until Bat or whoever sorts out a email confirming membership or whats the point of trying to get discounts through being a member.

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

quote?


to nissan or not to nissan, what sort of question is that?

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

ironically guys thats partially where the club fee came from in the old days,
help cover admin costs that problably didnt need doing in first place.

that said got a bn(not)ib lighter and pen from club mk1. was found to be
to costly, but fee continued, mainly to cover admin's out of pocket expenses
and contribute to server costs though the latter had a fund of its own at one
point.

[lacroupade]

christ what next membership numbers or rank numbers

What did you say there Captain Mainwaring? :D:bow

[extreme-4x4]

Well as per my earlier post Dee, it isn't a club in the strict sense (nor has it ever been, despite what people think - issuing a bit of plastic doesn't change your legal status in any way).

I mean if you go and join a porn site you don't get a membership card do you? Cos its just a website, which is all this is (except we make it a GREAT one!).

Formal clubs will have rules, regulations, a charter, nominated officials, treasurer, chairman, secretary etc...this website just has a single private owner, so its entirely up to him if he wants to issue a membership card...but as I said, its worth checking what your insurance company deems to be a 'club', otherwise you might just as well tell 'em your a member of this 'club'....
http://www.barryboys.co.uk/mx/

Personally I thinks tezzers idea is best, except Bat might have a view on copyright...!

[lacroupade]

Colin anybody could throw anything like that together in Word in about five minutes.....the only issue here is Bat letting someone sue his websites name for that. Can't see it would be an issue personally but he owns the domain name.

[extreme-4x4]

otherwise you might just as well tell 'em your a member of this 'club'....
http://www.barryboys.co.uk/mx/



you had to go and do it didnt ya.......

now pete will have another site to show off his truck ............PMSL

[lacroupade]

You can be so cruel sometimes. :naughty

[extreme-4x4]

anyway, i have said this many times before.

its our club, ok we pay bat for the site use. but outside of the club/site/forum we are free to do as we please.

so there is nothing stopping anyone doing things like the national or team south east or wales or anything you want.

so infact there is nothing stopping someone sorting membership cards or pens or anything they want.

[lacroupade]

or pens or anything they want.

you mean like those ones you used to take to skule that made the ladies clothes fall off when you turned 'em upside down?:augie

[extreme-4x4]

showing your age now paul.... but yes if you like

the only issue is the site name . but from conversations ive had . bat is always keen for people to stand up and make a difference

at the end of the day he collects from people who sign up to use the site, but he dont get involved and over rule us when we organize stuff.

team wales is still nissan4x4ownersclub.com team wales ..... he dont moan we use his sites name does he


whatever people do to make this lace better and more club like ... he always encourages it

so i gotta say yes it costs 10 quid to use his site . but its a whole lot more thats free , only cos we make it happen and he lets it

[lacroupade]

In that case, I want a pen just like that which says "Nissan Terrano/Ford Maverick"....but when you turn it upside down it says "Toyota Land Cruiser" LMAO!

Dee I have replied to your email.

As we are an online community, membership cards are not produced for members however, individual membership confirmation letters that you can print off and forward to your insurer etc can be requested via PM (http://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=377) or email (admin@nissan4x4ownersclub.com).

[(RIP) PLANK]

it had used to be a club in the 'true' sense, and had all the bits a real club needed, i remember the day it all changed, but it was a long long time ago, long before Mav owned the site or before Bat21 was even a member.

[CaptLimey]

Whatever it is/was/or used to be, it's still a great place to meet like minded folk who enjoy the occasional banter and opportunity to exchange info and pinions. Long may it continue, membership cards or not! (Particularly 'cos I've just paid another ten quid!)

and produce a nice little card for any club you fancy creating :naughty

I think you'll find that most insurers (op doesnt say how much is knocked off on his offer) will offer similar discounts via other sources or a broker will cut their commission margin to match :thumb2

Give em another ring and tell them youre also in the big shoe red nose car horn that goes parp parp club and post em a pic of Ronald McDonald as your id , I'm sure they'll consider a discount for you.

Hi just a quickie at the end. I have my insurance with Sureterm Direct £228 TPFT on 4.2petrol LWB Partol. On my previouse insurance they asked for proof of club membership I printed out the welcome email and that was enough. I think if you payed your value for money membership via PayPal you could also print out a copy of that invoice to say you are a paidup member.
