For a long time I used the vectrasport forums, eventually the inevitable happened and there were disagreements and other sites created etc etc.

The Admin of the site created it for the good of the Vectra community, he seeked no reward, no payments etc etc (much as this one appears to me), when the flaming started it caused damage to the community and took the soul from the site, the admin gave the site away for free and slowly it seemed to dissolve.

This is an Omega forum it's main purpose is for the support of Omega Owners, in that sense it is already a Club and in my opinion there is no need to create new names for clubs etc as it will just create confusion.

These are just my thoughts and I hope I haven't offended anyone.

Doesn't a club mean you can get trade club cards?

To get tradeclub is a bit more involved than that, and we do not comply with the rules yet...

This is without a doubt the best forum for omegas anywhere!  It does not need any fancy trappings or secret areas or the like.

As for trade card membership,  nip to your local dealer next time you need a service, buys some of the cheaper bits and start chatting to the parts manager about the cars you are servicing, you will probably get trade price.  Next time, casually ask what this trade club you keep hearing about is all about,  get and fill in the forms and wait for the thump on the doormat as your trade club book arrives.  Worked for me, and as Mark, Matchless, Theboy, Robin_hood and Issunaz will attest,  a Mechanic I aint!!  ;D

Or of course, if you are near me,  give me a yell and use mine!

Why not make a sticker that says omegaowners.com. Stick it on ur windshield and call it a club. I mean a forum isnt far off from a club!

Come on!  What about a club now? , we are 1 year old and lets face it , the best car forum full stop.

I would personally be veryhappy to pay £20-£30 for membership. and with over 1000 members , thats alot of money to plough into getting things going (meets, a summer ball kind of thing) etc

Why wait?

Blimey, you dragged the depths to find this old thread ;D

My own personal opinion hasn't changed - I would prefer us to share our knowledge for free, after all, we have low running costs.

What advantages do you see in becoming a club?  We do have a few private regional meets, and with the Lakes being such a success, I hope that will become an annual thing.

I can see lots of disadvantages to becoming a club - committees, AGMs, secreatries, treasurers, bearocracy, red tape, meetings, unnecessary costs and time.....
