Regional Funding

[andy]

Okay, this has been mentioned by Phil as a possibility for Kent. We discussed this with the Scottish community and feedback was very favourable as giving the Scottish area of the Club a sense of individuality We put it in place for the Scottish Scoobies, but it was literally on the day the sad news broke about Colin McRae so we've temporarily pulled it. Apart from being very disrespectful, it was the last thing on people's minds. It will be put back once we've paid our respects next Sunday.

The way it will work with Scottish Scoobies is they can pay, entirely optionally, via the membership system, an additional £10 per year over and above their SIDC membership fee. It was agreed with Phil that any income from this would be returned to the Region with the Club taking nothing from it. The only deductions would be the commission charged by PayPal or WorldPay. It was agreed with Scottish members, that funds raised would be split equally amongst the various Scottish Regions running Santa Cruise events.

The Scottish Scoobies Supporters get this logo beneath their username:

to show they're supporting the Scottish Scoobies.

There are various ways this can be set up if you wanted to go for it. What you must first decide amongst you is how much is acceptable to pay. The question was put to the Scottish community and they decided £10 was fair. It can be whatever you want, but you must have agreement from the majority on it. You then need to find your local photoshop guru to design you a logo. I believe we have raised the bar with the upgrade not only in terms of functionality, but also the look of the SIDC website. Any logo would have to be of a high standard. Something like this:

would NOT be considered suitable!

Everything is done automatically through a users membership control panel. They simply select the upgrade they want, pay and their account is upgraded automatically and instantly. Note that this scheme is in addition to SIDC membership. i.e. only open as an add-on to existing SIDC members. Any policy change on that, I'd have to discuss with Phil.

You really have to decide as a region if this is something you'd be interested in doing to raise local funding and let Phil know. Feel free to reply with any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

Sounds Good to me Great Idea

[Scooby Hoo?]

I must agree that this proposal would eliminate the need to set up a temporary secretary and made the transition to an affiliated SIDC regional club a lot smoother. I would give this proposal my full support. With regards to a fee of £10, I have already suggested this sum , so again I agree. Might I ask that one of the longer standing members compile a formal poll

Nice one steve Keep us informed.

[phil]

I think you will find Prodrive will refer you back to us as they were trying to focus these requests via one organisation because they were getting inundated

I would look for local supporters why not try the local dealers
