members’ matters by Tim Morris Busy year
Membership update At the end of 2019, our membership showed a slight increase to 6321 Members. There has been a small change in the proportion of the different levels with Individual and Double increasing whereas the Club and Family Levels have both dropped slightly. For 2020, there has been an increase in Membership fees – see table. To offset this year’s increase, we have introduced a direct debit discount of £5 which has already proved popular. The Family Level has also been split to reflect modern family life to Family 1 and Family 2 with one named adult and two named adults respectively and consequent price differentials. We take quite a few answerphone
messages in the office from people wishing to renew their membership and often find It hard to get back to members as they are not at home or are busy when we call. Please bear with us or try calling again.
It has been a great start to 2020 for the Members with an unbelievable 11 events already sold-out. That was on top of the 2880 members who came along on the fantastic Brooklands New Year’s Day event making up over 40% of the total attendance. The Fast-Track Members entrance worked a treat and there were hardly any delays in getting cars on site.
On the web
BM.tv continues to film our talks events and you can now find a large selection on our Vimeo and YouTube channels. Latest programmes include a walkthrough of New Year’s Day, David Tremayne talking about his jet speed car, and a conversation with Elizabeth Wallis (Barnes Wallis’ daughter). There is also the commemoration service for the Battle of Heligoland Bight, a 1:4.5 scale Wellington bomber, and Carl Fogarty with Steve Parrish. Please visit the site and particularly the events pages where you will find all the latest updates and booking details. We are also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, although you will find Facebook has the most updates and traffic and is a great place to visit for any last-minute updates and news. Our monthly email newsletter continues and should arrive on the first day of each month. To see our videos, visit:
