Is it worth becoming a Full Member?

Ex Greeny said:
My wife and I have been caravanners for well over 40 years, but decided to change to a Motorhome this year. Becoming a Full Member and obtaining the POI information has been well worth the annual fee, we have just returned from a month touring the west of Scotland and the POI has been an absolute godsend. We were a bit apprehensive about Wildcamping, but after our first overnight stop at Glencaple near Dumfries, our minds were put at rest and we have found some very good places to stop. So Yes, it is well worth becoming a Full Member.
" Mind you, I wish Admin would send me a joining pack and stickers !.

Answer to OPs question is 'YES

Answer to your question is behind the 'Memberships packs' link on the right hand side of the home page.
 
Went to sleep with this view

Woke up with this feller just outside

This sort of thing happened to us several times on our last trip in spots we would never have found without the POI file. That baby rabbit hopping about just outside the door made my wife's (a city girl) holiday.

P.O.I have been well worth joining, we had just bought a gas-it bottle when we joined this site, doh. The insurance is due after Christmas so we will check out the deals with the company recommended.
 
Best £20 by a country mile. You get almost instant access to expert knowledge on all things MH's & none MH's. You get moral & emotional support. You get fun by the tonne load. You get the opportunity to meet kindred spirits. You get debate. You get the POI's.

If that lot isn't worth £20 of anyone's money then I don't know what is.

I have found Frank Pickles cheaper for my insurance, already had Gas-It fitted prior to joining & I haven't used Johns Cross as yet.

Admin, I salute you.
 
A weekend with the moon

Hi,

Come to the Hereford River meet right next to the town and Experience a MORGAN THE MOON meet,a laugh a minute,well organised bash with lots of friendly campers.
I installed the Gasit bottles about a year ago with the club discount and it has payed for it's self many times over as I travel in Europe and now don't have to worry about refills.A refill in Europe about 10-12 Euros as against £22 in the UK.
Wild Camping is a great site if only for the information you can gain from the members,some very good,and some sometimes personal. :wacko::wacko::baby::baby:

Regards Snowbirds.

Do you feel that you get good value for the 39p per week?
Have you saved money on your insurance from AIB?
Have you used the discount from GAS IT or Johns Cross?
Do you feel happier supporting the the community and helping pay the running costs?
Are you happy with the support you get from me?

Please only respond if you are a Full Member.

And please try and keep this thread serious, there is a place for banter and comedy. (this is not it)

Erm, Well I've joined and got my two stickers plus a membership / discount card. The stickers are fixed for and aft in the van, but what do I do with the card? I tried to use it at the Manchester motorhome show, but nobody knew what it was, mind you being damned cheeky worked extremely well.
That said however, paying the price of a packet of fags for the knowledge base, camaraderie, friendship and the plethora of information has to be one of the best bargains out there on tinterweb.

ps I've made two plectrums from half of the card:D:D:D:D

I have just joined so only time will tell.However as a free member previously I could see that there is lots of useful information to be had and there are a lot of obliging members willing to help when you have a problem.
 
Got the insurance, fitted the Gas it, down loaded the POI's, but that is superfluous compared with the great peeps I enjoyed the last year with, The Best Year I have ever had!!!:wacko::banana:
You can't put a price on that!!!:bow:
Will be sending in my 'Happy Fee' till my wheels drop off !:raofl:
 
as a longtime wildcamper,i don't use the POI's, as a long time self builder , i don't need the technical advice .
but i do have a bit of a laugh here,and that's worth a lot to me,and i get the chance to share some of the stuff i've learnt over the years,and that's got to be good for my karma innit ?
there's people on here who know all sorts of stuff,hard- learnt stuff,and they're giving it away !
 
Having been a member on many fora over the years, including moderation.
I am very happy with this site and whilst I am yet to have any significant input, it has been of use at various times during my rebuild.
Indeed the current thread on The National Trust membership has widened our intended use of our membership to both bodies.
Thank you all, and we look forward to meeting fellow members around the UK as we cruise the ole '79 spending as little as possible of our grandkids' inheritance as possible, not to leave it to them, but to increase the mileage that we do.
Don't we all???
:cheers: :have fun: :camper:
 
id say so after getting used to the site its nice to take something to the party :cool1:
 
I have not read all the posts in this thread but in answer to the question, yes I would say it is worth being a full member if only for the POI's. When I joined as a free member, I didn't have a vehicle so didn't see any need to become a full member. However, having found a camper van I now wish to use the POI's and the AIB insurance discount.

Having been a free member and a full member i think it's great to have choice ,some people get very little from the site others a great deal .I go to some meets and have got to know some great people .so my answer YES it is worth it. I also think admin dose a great job. Bazz
 
Happy Punter

Never used the POI's, saved about 2 quid from Johns Cross but the help/information/camaraderie on the forum make it a steal at 39p a week.

Happy to be here.

Despite the " handbags at dawn" in the off topic section where it can get heated, the same people will in my experience give help in the respect of wild camping technical issues etc.

Of course for the sensitive you don't have to read the Off topic section.

I am a member of a few groups, and the admin here I think do a fantastic job in terms of censorship and letting things run there course. Having been involved in form myself they steer the ship quite skillfully.

Then of course, you have access to the POI database and discounts. I personally last year save £800 with AIB on insurance and refreshing to deal with....So I think full membership is a no brainer

We just spent a great Easter weekend in Snowdonia - perfect weather for climbing Cader Idris.

Using the POI's we stayed at 2 spots that were ideal (one where we met another member) - neither of which we had been to before.

There are many good reasons for being a WC member, and the POI's are just one of them.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and again YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Using the full member discount with ALFA Batteries (Buy Car Batteries & Leisure Batteries Online - Free Next Day Delivery - Alpha Batteries) I have saved enough brass to fund several more years full membership. A 110amp low profile battery with a 4 year warranty and next day delivery 65 squids.......................................Am I glad I became a 'full' member ?? You bet your sweet bippy I am
