As an active member of the VSOC XV I take offence at the suggestion in your letter that you pay for me to enjoy myself at centre xv functions eg the Hoo party and posibly the January disco with your membership fee. Obviously you do not know were your membership fee goes.It goes directly to the main VSOC body to pay to-wards your clatter magazine and setting up rallies NOT parties. Centre xv does not recieve a penny of it that is why quite a few members donate £5 each year to help to-wards postage so that members who are not on e-mail still get the minutes of the meetings sent to them even though a lot of the members who donate are on e-mail.
The funds in centre xv's account are made up of profits from raffles that are held at funtions throughout the year (which active members donate free) and the sales on our merchandising.
The Hoo party was only possible because quite a few members pulled in a lot of favours, donated and loaned equipment and time not only on the day but also in the months leading up to the party. Quite a few of the jobs that needed doing were small but still important and could be carried out at home as a few of the members did because they could not attend the party meetings.
I know there are members who cannot always give up there time because of family or work commitments but an e-mail or telephone call to the committee stating this would not go amiss so the rest of the members know you are still out there.
