Hitchcocks Forum

I have been guilty of not renewing my membership for the last couple of years because of worries about credit card security that I mentioned on here a while ago, just been on the website to join (thought it was about time) and was shocked to find it's gone up to £33, are they kidding, the gun magazine is vaguely interesting at best and I cannot think what else warrants that kind of money, I have been offered membership to many different clubs over the last couple of years and none have been that much, I would value your opinion good or bad... Cheers.

As a Memember I did not really Notice it had crept up to that Leval??..Now I enjoy the Mag,Dont really use the Histroical side or go to there rallies (Though thats My fault Not theres)..SO, I Think its getting Near that Leval where Loyalty (20+ Year Man) = Seconed Thoughts...I Know you can go PDF and May be thats the way Forward but thats Still Over £20??? I am allso in the MZRC and thats £25....For Clubs Who are in Profit and go Digital/PDF I would think £15 is Enough as I agree Printing & Post Costs are Out Side of Clubs Control...All IMHO Ofcourse.."Hey How about a Hitchcoks Enfield Riders Club" ;0)....Cheers all.

I'll be sticking with the BSAOC for a tenner a year less

I don't suppose the BSAOC fancy the idea of having an Enfield section?



I could save a tenner!

£33? I can't see how you get that. Individual member £22.50, initial joining fee £3.00 (first time only,) equals £25.50. Additional members (spouse I presume!) £1.50 each. If you don't want to join, fair enough but that sounds reasonable to me. REgards, Mark

Scaly I also belong to the Ohio Valley BSAOC $15 a year and I get the magazine every couple of months. Mark, look again. It is £33 a year. REOC seem to run a very strange way of calculating annual subs. BSAOC is a year from the date of joining not so REOC, if you join part way through "their" year you will pay through the nose.

Bryan, I did. Can't get £33 however I do it. Are you sure you're not looking at the Overseas form? Also, I believe there is a reduced fee available for part year membership although this isn't on the form. REgards, Mark

Guys... I took 20 seconds opening both UK and overseas forms.



UK £22.50
overseas £33.00.



I shall renew for UK. They send magazine to UK address. and a free PDF version to my email, so I can read in France. YAY!

PLUS...



It also says on both forms...





The Club has a defined subscription year running from1st September to 31st August
Using this form will enrol you for the remainder of the current year plus one full year.



Let's all have another go at trying to read eh???? Poor REOC, and they only have our best interests at heart.

Thank you, that's what I said from the beginning! I thought the figures didn't add up, having just renewed myself. REgards, Mark
