Farewell to the club for the time being
Today I got a nice postcard saying my membership has lapsed.
So I have decided that I am not going to renew my memebrship. If the club changes it's fee structure at some point in the future I would certainly think about rejoining.
Thank you to everyone who has given me advice along the way and I hope that I have contributed nearly as much as I have received.
Your a great bunch of people.
Thank you for having me.
Regards

Bummer
I also enjoy your posts and such.
Question,
Isn't this forum here free?
I can't remember.. I pay my membership right away and don't know if this site and the membership are connected.

I'm embarrassed but glad to be back in the saddle
I thought that was very fair, as the new web site really has to take priority.
So I have renewed my membership under the old terms and am optimistic that the committee will resolve the overseas membership fees before I am due next year.
Just to make it clear to those who do not know my proposal is as follows.
I propose that the club provide overseas members with the option to get a copy of the excellent club magazine in paper copy via the post at the current overseas membership fees. The added cost is for international postage and that is fair.
However if an overseas member is happy to receive a PDF version of the magazine which they just download from the web site, then the mebership fees be the same as for US members.
I for one hope that this option will make overseas membership much more attractive and sustainable for BMW owners around the world.
Thank you to all who offered very generous support re my involvement in the club. These old bikes have been part of my life since I was 17 years old. So 50 years.
Cheers
