Who ceased CTC membership after charity conversion, etc. ?

Post by ukdodger »

How many of us didnt renew membership because of the change from club to charity? I didnt intend to but then I got to wondering if you have to be a member to partake of the CTC tours which might change my mind.

Me for one, I thought it quite unconstitutional. That should have been put to the members. Along with the name change as well

This would a more useful post if it had a poll attached .... just a thought .... I renewed ... and voted out ..... a combined poll ..... :)

I carried on being a member after the conversion to a charity. The name change, along with a realisation of the focus of the club and the way it was being run.
I had half an inkling of joining again when I qualified for aged membership. Then the pass mat saga doesn't win me over, BBR revival here in Scotland looked to me like a sham and I suspect ambiguously reported. Realised I could have had unwaged before and didn't make use of it. I've had 2 guest rides upto now but to be honest the people I ride with don't give a toss if I'm a member or not. We've never ever run that formally. KM Rally coming up, I'll probably turn up on a few rides, will I need membership for that?
Apart from local rides it just doesn't seem like a club for me anymore but I've looked very hard elsewhere and there certainly isn't another one fitting the bill either.

Have to agree about there isnt anything else to choose from. Signing up for tours they do ask for a members number but dont state it's a requirement..

Pleased to see the title return. The edited version was completely different to the original and would make you wonder what's going on.

I did as I did not feel happy about supporting a chief executives salary. Just as I like to support small charities rather than major ones.
And don't get me started on Comic Relief , CIN etc.

Yep - renewed in July 15 only so I could vote at the CTC Heart of England dissolution EGM in September 15 and then ceased CTC membership (with a cash refund of the remaining term value) in October 15.

If you don't like the re-branding of this thread you can change it back, at least for your own posts :wink:

I changed the title to give some reasonable indication of the content.

This helps users to decide whether to go further.

The first attempt focused on your second question. I corrected it to focus on the first.
