Eeek Bootsy - when did the September renewals come in? If it was 2007 then I for one owe you some money!

Maybe worth an email reminder out to everyone?

i'm sure there was a e-mail reminder Ian. maybe it went into your junk mail bin?

Just a thought but...
Why not knock out the avatar sometime in September and only re-enable it upon receipt of membership funds.
Then it would be obvious to both the member and the audience

Would take a month of Sundays as I'd have to do it manually!

Having checked, I paid (for both of us).

Can you believe a Yorshireman actually wanting to pay for things!

Must be the move south that's shortened my pockets and lengthened my hands

no names of members are given. so i suggest just upping the actual membership figures a little to say 300 (approx £157) and that should more than cover numbers at any event or gathering.
Sounds sensible - thanks Helen, I look forward to getting the information.

sorry to bring this subject up again but has anything been sorted ? only i am now at the point of no-return with booking a stand at the NEC show for which we need to be covered by public liability insurence.

the show organisers will charge us to use their insurence (I took this option out last year) but it costs about £200 for the three days

Sorry, my minds not been on this (sorting nursery mainly!) however, I will do my upmost to sort it in the next couple of weeks.

Phil has been looking into this for us. It's going to cost us near on £500 a year at the moment although he's still got a couple of other options.

this will cover us for 300 paid up members but on the shape of the sub renewals so far this year we can probably do it for about a third of that figure!

Helen, are we still planning to do the NEC?

Thanks

Thing is what event would there ever be 300+ DDK'ers?

The scheme through the Historic Vehicle Federation is based on a membership fee for the number of members you have and then a fee for the insurance.

After renewals are sorted I'll have a better idea of number. Given the current rate we can probably get away with under 100!

Shame but understandable.

We may have to review each event as it comes. Many organisers will cover clubs with their own PLI which is how it should be.
