FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

G'day all, just wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction as far as joining a club goes, I've been messaging the QLD. club for the past two weeks asking for a membership form but have recieved no reply, unfortunately the QLD. part of the club contact details is also missing from the post above, I hadn't joined earlier as i was under the impression you had to be able to attend meetings and compulsory events like i had with bike clubs.

Give  Ron Cook – 3351 2736 a call and he will sort it out for you.

Thanks just40, I'll get onto it during the week, nice line up you've got on your avatar 8).
                                           Pedro

Thanks again just40, rang Ron on tuesday and chatted for a while came across as a really nice guy, e-mailed me an entry form and i sent it off today, looking forward to catching up with the rest of the club when i get down there.
                         Pedro

top bunch of guy and girls, welcome aboard.

There goes the neighbourhood  ::)  :P

Yeah some clubs will let anybody in ::) ;D ;D


Glad to be aboard, looking forward to getting together with a like minded group of people.

Just curious as to how long it normally takes for a membership to come back as it has now been a month since i sent my application and payment in ???
                            Pedro

You know how sometimes things take longer than you think and other times they just don't want to know you.....

Maybe this is one of the other times??  ;)

On the other hand, clubs are run by volunteers, usually only meet monthly and try to minimise postage costs.  If a magazine is due out, my club would hold off sending a separate piece of mail with a receipt and then send the receipt with the magazine.  Sometimes human error means a new name isn't immediately added to the mailing list and that can cause a delay.  Sometimes the volunteer involved is just flat out with other things and takes a little longer than would be ideal. 

An email to the appropriate committee member is the best way to go if there is any doubt about whether your membership application has been received.

Cheers
David

And maybe they just don't want rum-guzzling rubber pants-clad kinky bikies in their club...  ::)

But that's alright, Pedro; we still love ya  ;) (well, until your 15 minutes are up anyhow)  ;D

I think Greg Pritchard looks after that side of it, i will get hold of him and find out whats going on.

Now why am i not suprised it's you putting the other boot in Jack :o, I can see I'm never going hear the end of that rubber pants joke ::)(and to everyone else reading this no i don't have incontinence) :D, I'm definately going to have to make it to Orange now just so i can drag you off and then drink all your rum :P :P ;D ;D.

Thanks Greg, I was going to wait a bit longer and then give Ron a ring just to make sure they got it, Stinky sent me a pm saying it can take up to six weeks depending on when the application was sent in so i guess I'll just have to learn to be a bit more patient :-X.
               Pedro

Pedro, I'm a responsible Senior Citizen with far too much respect for the law to be tempted (even by a bottle of Queensland diesel!) to indulge in illegal drag-racing.
However, I'll be more than happy to share my bottle with you just so long as you get to Orange (being a fisherman I'll have a drink with almost anyone!)

I seem to recall a certain respectable senior citizen involved in some extra curricular protest activities against a certain council a little while ago ;D ;D, guess I'll just have to settle with having a sipper with you then ;).
        Pedro

Now over six weeks and still no reply ???.
                    Pedro

Take the hint Pedro  :P

Darn it - Stinky got there first!  >:(  ;D

Maybe they are waiting for you to finish the car first?
 ;D

i also have been waiting a long time for some info about joining this club they are very slack anyway i will join another club so much for staying in your state--dont hold your breath pedro waiting for reply cut your losses and go interstate

Interstate (and international) members are always welcome at the Vic club. No requirement to attend any events and you will always receive fast attention to any problems you are having - our newsletters are emailed to members and the membership form is downloadable from our website.

Ken

Look, I'm in brackets!  ;D

Sorry pedro but with work flat out at the moment i forgot to ring greg, but i have spoken to bruce webster tonight and we will have all sorted out soon.
The club meets next Wednesday night and it will be first on the agender, again sorry for the delay.

Thanks for the advice guys, haven't had time to reply been up to my elbows in bog and sandpaper, the reason I'd prefer to join the Brisbane club is that once the real estate market picks up we're still planning on moving back to the Gold coast area, then I'll be able to go to meetings and get involved in the club.
       Pedro

This is getting ridiculous, now seven weeks, no membership and no contact to let me know what's happening, this website is run by the FE/FC clubs and they would obviously be aware of what was going on as well as just40 said he had contacted someone and was going to bring it up at the meeting, the Qld. club certainly don't bother to put out the welcome mat for new members.
                                  Pedro

Pedro,

There are only a couple of guys from the QLD that are computer literate, so not many get on here.

The best way is to go to a meeting... Not that I have ever been able to being from Cairns. The club runs and days organised look like a great event, so don't get too disappointed yet. Send Bruce Webster an email and ask to be put on the newsletter list that he sends out each month. That will get you started.

Cheers
JB

The club does meet until tomorrow night, and all will be sorted out then.

All new members will receive receipts within the next fews days.
pedro i have sent you a personal message as well.

aussieute you have mail too.

G'day just40, thanks i appreciate you trying to sort this out for me, looks like we might be moving back down there around christmas so I'll get to thank you in person at a meeting sooner or later, only problem is my real name isn't Fred so I don't know if you've got the right membership form.
                       Pedro

Membership receipt and newsletter arrived today :) :). thanks again just40 for all your help sorting things out, looking foreward to catching up with everyone and checking out the cars in person.
                                              Pedro

I recall reading somewhere on the site what i should do once becoming a club member but i can't seem to find it now ???
          Pedro

go to meetings??     :P

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D smart ass ba*****
              Pedro

Hey Fredro  ;)

The Qld club should now give you access to the club members only parts of the forum. 

Cheers
David

Pedro, I hope they spoke well of me. I am the fred that also just joined. I am waiting for my news letter. Also conformation of my membership. regards fred

Fredro and PeddyC, I've updated your profiles. You should be able to see the Club-only areas now.

RET

 :D :D :D, Quick thinking there David

G'day Fred welcome to the site, actually they didn't say anything about you, just asked if my name was Fred when there was some confusion with my membership.

Thanks RET.
       Pedro

Glad all is sorted out, but as jason said most of the club committee do not visit the forums and were unaware of the problems.
predo and fred we have only 2 club runs to go for this year, mulgowie and south brisbane cliffs, so come along and meet the club.
