[QUOTE="XXX, post: 212424, member: 231"] To all, I think paying joining and subscription fees to be a member is just fine. But there are definitely several factors to consider: 1. The club committee is responsible and accountable for all monies collected. [COLOR=blue]Yes[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]as per regulations of the ROS we are bound to an annual audit[/COLOR] 2. They have to continuously regulate the rules & membership of the club. [COLOR=blue]We try to enforce rules but we are deemed as control freaks and bcos of this the splinter groups are formed...it has happened bcos evrybody has the assumption that the internet have no boundaries so how do we educate this people. Well[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]you cant pls everybody but there are still a large percentage out there with the right kind of mentality so we hope this people will make BMW Clubs vision a reality.[/COLOR] 3. They have to constantly make the club eventful & purposeful. [COLOR=blue]Yes but it has to have members and funds to organise it, so thats why we are having a membership drive now and with the support from all, this is not one of the problems I foresee at all.[/COLOR] All the three above requires a great deal of sacrifice and time on the part of the committee - much of it is usually thankless.

[COLOR=blue]FYI only this club with official status can use the word BMW and their logos,[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]not anybody else and as the Official club in Malaysia we are empowered to enforce this in Malaysia.[/COLOR] I personally became a BMW fan because my ex-boss loves BMWs and would usually buy many BMWs each year.
