Would any forum members that have been BMWCC members and have let their membership lapse please contact me and let me know why they didn't renew please ?
Many thanks for your co-operation.

A couple that didn't want to be quoted, that hadn't renewed due to ill feeling between fellow club members, percieved feelings of not being made to feel welcome.
Your reply.
And the fact that I probably won't bother this time.

I've only just renewed mine last month (they give you a reminder in the club mag)
Shame that people leave the club due to others, I think it's worth it just for the benfits and discounts alone - even if you never go on a club outing/meet or wander onto this forum or even meet anyone else associated with the club.

well like i said its sad but i still think this is a great club and forum one of the best ,if not the best
but there are some i have met that make u feel unwelcome but i"am a big boy ang just give them the finger ,but some people do feel intimidated
its the members that make a club and 90% of them are bang on ,and 10% need a good slap

The problem is tho,we have 5000 members and over 7000 registered forum members,so if a small % just use forum and are not interested in club it could be them that makes the real members not want to Re join or Re Join
The thing i laugh at tho is most of them will expect to go to Gaydon
Get your hand in your wallets and pay the 32
Get to some meets/events and get to know some people
Try it

I agree - if you are a BMW user, then what other club is there?

Shame - just stay as a forum modorator! 
Who says you have to be a BMWCC member to do that?

Im ust admit, im not a member of the Club as yet, but im using the forum as a measuring stick of how friendly people are. if im still happy in a couple of months ill join up, but if it gets bitchy and clicky, like other forums have, i wont bother. so far, everyone has been more than friendly and helpfull, so im confident ill join

What??? Discount on parts and servicing,insurance discounts with selected companies to name a few,and you get a nice shiny sticker to put in your car!! 
I came over from the drivers club and have found everyone i have met in the club very friendly and when i have needed help with anything the people on this forum have been helpful.

I came over from the drivers club as well Jamie and the discounts have helped me no-end over the years. The people on here have always been helpful (sometimes with a bit of p*ss take) but then you get that when you're at work etc and I don't take offence.

discount on parts, i have the internet so can get parts cheap anyway if i shop around.
servicing i do myself so i know its done properly
Insurance 340 fully comprehensive a year for me and the wife.
Discounts with selected stores can get that anyway if youre cheeky enough.
Dont do stickers sorry. lol so i dont really see the point.
Most people from the club are on the forum and i totally agree that nearly everyone i have met on here is very friendly, helpful, and a great bunch, dont get me wrong i love the forum but i just honestly cant see the point of joining the club sorry guys.

Glad to hear you are joining soon
The club is made by it`s members,so it`s up to us to make it as good as we can
Without us there would be no Gaydon (I keep using this as an example,but it`s a good one)
