SOC Club Costs & Family Activities

[stustag]

Hi All

Just been looking at some of the other Triumph clubs for ideas regarding family/kids activities to see what each of them do.

Whilst doing this I was amazed at the cost of some of the clubs considering the membership would be greater than ours and they do not have a tooling fund!

TR Register £43 per year National Weekend £20

Club Triumph £28

TSSC £42 per year National £17.50 per person

SOC £32 per year National £5 per person (adult)

Considering all that the SOC do with the monthly mag, forum, website, SOCTFL, ESM & National Weekend the current costs are better or equal to any of the other clubs.

On the Family/kids front some of the other clubs have specialpages in the mag for kids stories and pictures, some have ranges of kids clothing aswellwhich if done correctly would make the kids feel part of the club.

Overall though the SOC do cater where possible for the family despite charging less for almost everything to do with joining and activity costs.

I am trying to come up with interesting outings and ideas for the families in the Worcestershire area any suggests or examples of what other areas do would be great.

Stuart - i think that the overall cost of events etc. is actually pretty consistent across most clubs (all depends what's included and what's an extra) the SOC compares very favourably for the National at £5 per person for the entire weekend.

not sure the annual subscription costs are comparing like for like - i know the TSSC £42 includes the initial joining fee.... renewal is £36 if by direct debit

Apparently the club membership is 4125 and there are approximately 250 overseas members. I suppose that the large number of members and large number of volunteers is the key. The TSSC have some premises and presumably some paid officials. I do think their mag and website are better though. With the 6 chasis they have more to get their teeth into.

Nice to hear a positive comment about the club Stu
