hey all i just thought i would throw this up for people wanting to donate small ammounts to the club i have started up a paypal account ashleymiller81@hotmail.com so users / members can donate what ever they want to help mick and myself pay for the hosting fee's etc etc and also what ever is left over will go towards food / drinks etc etc for a annual club meet.

if you wish to donate go to

http://www.paypal.com

and deposit it into account ashleymiller81@hotmail.com

please remember to put your username and the word donation as the description or i wont know what have come from who.

the person who donates the most by the end of each year will receive club merchandice as a token of our thanks.

regards

ash


please note that this is a non profit organisation and mick and myself are not pocketing any of the moneys collected from donations or membership fee's

How much is the hosting per year?

I'll gladdly donate some $$. I really appreciate the effort you blokes put into this club. Means alot.

not much but thats becides the point we want to be able to do more for the club and its hard when the club has no $$$

do we need a paypal account to make donations/become a goldmember?

it is prefered as that way both partys have a paper trail and the security of paypal, it is free to setup and most people that have an ebay account these days have paypal. i can offer my own account if need be then ill deposit the moneys into the clubs pay pal account.

Just a little bit off topic here but you mentioned an annual club meet. Are there any plans/ideas of how this will happen as we are scattered all over Australia.

Wheres the meet, lake Eyre? ... see who has the fastest car on the salt lake

If someone organised a date and location, say central Australia or inside the WA border, and give everyone heaps of notice to get time off work ... id be up for a massive road trip. Maybe have everyone in the same state cruise together.

If its only annually that we meet up its got to be a massive cruise!

What do you think?

Pete

hey Pete,

yes we did discuss this a bit a few months back and decided to go with either somwhere in victoria or south australia as we have members in qld and nt and wa but the majority seem to be in vic and wa . there will be a annual meet setup once the state is decided then we will discuss the venue and findout close accomodation for those traveling and also discuss things like trophies and small events, bbq lunches etc etc. but the club isnt quite big enough financally to pay for an annual event as yet, we are working on this and ill post up a new topic and keep everyone up to date on its progress

Sweet as!

Cheers mate

Pete

Going on from what Neale said in another thread about people pitching in when stuff needs to be paid for, maybe having a look at what the costs are per annum and spread that into 10 or 15 parts. Then you could say that $X is what people are encouraged to pay per person and with having a core of people who will want to put in money to keep the site going, (which will change over time) hopefully the costs will be covered or close to it. Extras can go on extras like food for a get together.
