High level membership

[hitnrun]

Hey guys,

Slip mentioned that the basic membership would be around $15, but that there would be a more expensive option with shirts etc.

What I would like to know is who here is keen for the expensive option, I know I am?!

Also would there be a yearly fee as well, or a once off payment.

I know that as long as I got dicounts, stickers and shirts, jumpers and the like, I would be willing to pay a lot more.

Anyway it's great to see it going ahead, a big thanks to Slip and others for doing so much work.

If you ever need a place to crash on the Sunnny Coast let me know.

Cheers,

Tim

where on the sunny coast? i just moved to brissy from there, 11years at currimundi.

Yes the membership will be a yearly fee from the time you become a member. cheap though, if you use your bob jane card just once, you'll come out on top.

I have just thought of another membership option which i will voice at our next executive meeting (1 week away) and tell you all about after that.

Is there any process yet on how we go about paying for membership etc etc or is that still to be discussed and worked out

this is just an observation, but looking at the poll results so far, what will the simple membership package's point be???

it appears no one wants the cheap option...

Slip,

I normally live up Maleny way, but for the next few weeks housesitting in Yandina (bit of a hole but I have a pool and bbq so all good).

Still the offer is open, if you guys/girls need a place to stay, let me know, I can cook a mean steak

well, the idea i was thinking is that there should just be a basic membership fee that is paid every year... could be $15-$20, this would get you your SAU membership that would entitle you to discounts at sponsors, and cheaper prices for any events we hold.

For the people that want more, we should have some official SAU merchandise that members can purchase... so stickers, stubby holders, clothing, key rings etc.

I think too that asking $20 for just a membership and nothing else is very reasonable.. the club will need funds for printing flyers, running events, business registration, cams affiliation etc etc and its not fair that a few members (ie slip and friends) should have to fork out the cash.

Any extra money will always go back into members anyway... so no one will miss out.

just my 2 c

also..... I think we should ask prank if we can have someone that runs the qld members section of the website (im putting my hand up if u need!)... we can then get photos of cruises, member profiles etc happening... and i know prank is a busy man...

for whoever did that thing in the poll, all i have to say is your a dirty stinky abodigital!

Dave,

I think that makes a lot of sense. The same price for membership $20-30 and then have merchandise for sale.

Also since someone will have to cough up money for the mechandise initially, you might want to offer some kind of pre-payment plan to get a bit of float to work with. That way you can order in bulk and save, as well as having money without dipping into your own cash.

Also have you discussed about doing bulk buys with the rest of the states, then getting them customised/embroided cheaply for each state? Or even just SAU mechandise, not state specific?

Anyhooo, whatever happens is cool with me, I hate shopping so SAU - QLD merchnadise is gonna be great for chrissy presents. :uh-huh: And it means I can buy clothes that I like, not some crappy surf shit

**EDIT** Oh and that poll was done by me Boxcar.
