What do you think?.

We will be purchasing more membership cards soon and was wondering if we should carry these on.

What’s your thoughts on this please.

An expense that is not needed.

If members want discount they normally only need to quote the membership number.

Even at rallies or meets we have no need to produce them.

Nice as they are, I think they are a watse of money. I would rather have another pen :smile:

Agree with what Cameraman says .Why not send a email confirmation ,with membership no, address that can be printed off.Put also discounts available on it.Dinky

I have never used mine either, I hung it off the rear view mirror at wicksteed 2006 and it stayed there until the writing faded off in the sun.
I suppose a small 'member' sticker for the front window like a tax disc holder might be good for rallies? could even be sent out as confirmation of a rally booking?

and it is nice to have a card or something it makes it feel like a 'proper' club.


But apart from that they arent much use i dont suppose.

A window sticker sounds a good idea instead of the card. Im always checking out terranos/mavericks etc to see if they have any club stickers on them.

Me thinks thats the way forward, we have 3 on our mr2 showing which clubs we are in & they also advertise them, which can't be a bad thing.

How about a tax disc holder, the type with the extra rectangular bit on top of the circle so theres somewhere to put the logo.

Nice idea HB but sounds exspensive, just a normal round stiker with the club stuff and 'member' 2008 or simmilar would be enough

Hello again.

Wonder if you can take a look at this web site and let me know if the window screen sticker is the way forward instead of the membership card and a few ideas on shape or size you would prefer.

I like plain black round tax disc holders with perhaps white writting but you can't see what it is from the outside.
My personal preferance is not to bother as I don't need a card or sticker to know I'm a member of this club. I personally think keep the money to help pay site costs.

Thats ok Jace,

But then everyone will know your membership number which may lead to ex members contacting supplers for discounts and using members benifits.

i thought that as i hit sumbit button guests etc will just be able to see the vital number reckon just print off the welcome letter and add member number to that upto indvidual to look after it and keep it safe it could even be emailed out and printed by member saving ink and paper your end!

do we really need membership cards all we need is a mebership number(which we would normally quote to supplier over the phone) which could be given out in a welcome to the club e mail. i agree with jt that money could be well spent on running the club,

but as a deviation nothing wrong is using a tax disc with a simple round notifiction on annual rally as a easy to see rally pass

Talking about membership, daft question :oops: , but when I joined the club I got a card with 208 on it, yet on the members list it has me as 286 which is right :?:

A HAPPY MEDIUM!

--a card is god for rally's sicounts etc. but no potential members see it in your pocket

--a tax disk holder no one sees from outside


--it is nice to display your membership on your car


so, what about a cheap round tax disk holder printed so that with no tax disc in it can be read from outside, you know the type with the clinging film rather than the sticky stuff.

Then at rallys we can be emailed a disc print and cut out with an image unique to that rally and put it under the holder, job done!

as it is clinging film it can be moved to a new car without scrapping it as it will just peel off, they could also then be sold in the club shop should you need another!

Hello Killerpete, You are member 208

Its because we did not do membership cards from day one,

The club has had more members than memberships cards have been handed out. Hope this makes sence.

Hello Plank, What i am trying to sort out at the moment is a sticker that fits to the inside of the window screen facing out,
About the same size as a tax disc but with member 2008 on it and not the picture of the Terrano.

sounds just like what i had in mind, could you get them done in the cling type stuff ratehr than adhesive? as you can trap somthing under them and then they can double up as a tax disc holder? and you can move them from car to car, i ask as i am allways changing cars!

i do have a few of the old stickers i even have on on my ifor wiliams work trailer, i may add one to the horse box when i get one :wink:

Hello again,

I suppose i could give you several and then you can leave them in your old vehicles.

Just waiting for a return phone call from them with types and prices.

well, when i have sold a T2 i have thrown in paying for a years membership with it, i may be listing another on ebay soon and will do the same again.

I dont think the last member bigmanUK has made the most of his membership though.
