How Are Membership Renewals?

[anxious]

I was just wondering how many of you guys have renewed your official membership with the club esp since your 2007 membership would have expired by now? This would give the club a good indication of it ability to retain members since getting new members shouldnt be as difficult as retaining them. Anyone care to share whether you have/intend to renew your membership or not and why so?

 

[pussy]

Dominic, become a member and you will have an answer to all your questions.

I myself dun think so i need to share this info to non-members..


regards.

 

[berserkdroid]

Me! Me! Me!

Riiight. Here we go again...

As far as I know everyone is still on board, myself included.

By the way, here's a BIG welcome to all the new members. Glad to have you on board! :top:

I have renew my subscription if it is of any interest to you.

The reason why I am renewing is not because I have to do but because I know that the club may not function properly if the subsription is NOT coming in. Being a member of this club, we are also responsible for its well being. Hence, it is sensible to pay your dues when it due.

FYI, the club have manage to reach to it present state even though there was no collection of subsription fees for about 3 years. All expenses to start the forum and registration of the club with ROS comes from the own pockets of the founding members. As far as I know, there was never any reimbursement for any of the expenses incurred by them. You should thank them.

IMHO, the club is still in its infant stage. There is still a lot of potential to commercialise it (subject to members' approval) or improve it.

Just like a golf club, when facility and previledges increases, the subsription fee may increases or the waiting list becomes longer.


So when are you going to be a member? I know you are keen but is hesistant.

Send me a PM your HP number if you want to chit chat about the club matters.

Pussy,I see no harm on members sharing their opinion on the club with non members in the forum.

In fact if the club has met the members expectation over the last year it shouldnt face difficulties in getting the members to fork out anorther RM150 for 2008.

In fact members should be raving about it. Would that be the best form of advertisement.

Otherwise it may be time for the club to "reinvent" itself.

Just my two cents worth.

Cheers

[anxious]

Jarance, I just read your post. Thank You. Yes I am seriously considering joining. I am waiting for confirmation from DD as to when the Factory visit is. As I mentioned before the factory visit itself is worth the RM300 for me. I would look forward to more of such events if I were a member.

PS Is the factory visit next week confirmed? I will be in KL on Thurs and look forward to joining you guys for the Factory Tour.

Is it?

I thought many blue members havent paid their 2008 dues
yet.

Coorect me if I am wrong.

God knows where you get your info.

 

[anxious]

A simple yes or no would suffice. I should think "God" would have more important things to do.

Anyway, my question simply focuses on how the club been doing on retaining its membership.

That can be measured by the retention rate ie % of members in 2007 that have signed up and paid the RM150 annual fees in 2008.

I see no harm disclosing the figures unless the numbers are too embarrissing to disclose.

U r right! The answer is YES! Banyak tak renew their membership. Onli biru name. Take the money pay AAM is better, can get free tow service if car mati. And onli rm 80 per year. Here pay rm 150.... apa pun don';t have :stupid:

Don't kena tipu! save the money for other good use!

 

[berserkdroid]

Anxious, why must you always load your comments with some sarcastic remark? All it does is rile people. Doesn't help matters, mate. Try toning things down a little, wokay? :top:

Right, on with the topic...

 

[anxious]

Berserkdoid, the sarcasm is not intened. However I dont understand why there is so much secrecy.

Why cant there be an open discussion on matters like my Q here? Maybe constructive suggestions can be made.

Well I am only thinking aloud...thinking is allowed isnt it.

If what I say is absolute nonsense, just ignore me but I think more often than not the Questions I pose hit very sensitive nerves bcos they are the right questions.

They are the Qs that need to be asked if the club is going to progress beyond holding TTs, futsal and bowling activities.

Its nearing the end of Feb now. How many people have renewed thier membership?

That is a loaded Q. Ignore it at your own peril.

anxious ,

with people like you and frankie yong running down the club and not helping and scaring everybody off, how the club want to grow ...dont forget we are not even a year old yet and Rome wasnt built in one day...we start with small things first like futsal, bowling and part sponsoring HPC is bcos thats what we can afford at this moment in time but if the membership grows and we have more funds of course we can plan bigger things...but at the end of the day I dont think its what the club can do or provide, for me to join the club..its just knowing that I belong to a club and not any club but BMW Club Malaysia...just like your car you, spend XXX amount to max your car out to 700hp, its not that you are going to use it but u know that you have 700hp under the hood and you can proudly say so, or why buy a BMW, a kancil would also bring you from A to Z...but its the sense of pride of owning a BMW and for me joining the club also gives me that sense of pride its not abt what the club can give or provide me..but at least I can proudly say Im a member of BMW Club Malaysia.....Can You? or do you prefer to tell people proudly that you are a member of AAM....

 

[syahruln]

I think you're trying to test a lot of ppl's patience here lah Anxious. You already know why people don't bother to answer to you directly, but yet you still want to test your luck. Therefore, please post your test questions in the Test Center, ok?
