2 Continental Club Shop 22. Februar 2011 Tijdens de Continental Conference in Berlijn is ere en vraag gesteld om te kijken of ere en mogelijkheid bestaat een club shop te creëren voor de continentale secties. Zoals beloofd, heb ik dit verder onderzocht en kan ik u de mogelijkheid van een continentale clubshop bieden in uw eigen taal en valuta De club shop zal een webshop zijn die zal worden gerund door een vriend van mij woonachtig in Nederland. De locatie zou problemen met verschillende valuta s en BTW moeten oplossen evenals de in- en uitvoerrechten die vanuit Nederland niet van toepassing zijn voor landen binnen de E. Arnold Bralts heeft een bedrijf gespecialiseerd in de verkoop van promotionele artikelen, kleding en merchandising. Als autoliefhebber heeft hij affiniteit met de merken. Door deze opzet zal het houden van voorraad, verzenden van goederen en betalingsverkeer uit handen van de sectie worden genomen. De producten zullen vanzelfsprekend de exclusiviteit en het kwaliteitsniveau hebben die u verwacht van een RREC shop. Leden kunnen bestellen via het internet en betalingen kunnen worden gedaan door middel van ideal, credit card of Paypal. Maar leden kunnen ook een bestelling plaatsen via de fax en per post. Indien u als sectie een voorraad wilt aanleggen voor uw eigen club shop om bijvoorbeeld te presenteren op evenementen dan behoord dit uiteraard ook tot de mogelijkheden. De club shop kan een bron van inkomsten betekenen voor de sectie. Behalve de reguliere logo s kunnen bepaalde producten ook worden voorzien van een personalisering zoals initialen, naam of autotype die de leden extra kunnen laten aanbrengen. Wij hebben samengesteld en als bijlage bijgevoegd waarop de mogelijke producten staan die club shop zou kunnen bevatten. Kunt u mij alstublieft in de komende drie weken laten weten of deze lijst de producten bevat die u in de club shop zou willen zien. En mocht u suggesties hebben dan hoor ik dat ook graag. Laat het mij alstublieft zo spoedig mogelijk weten zodat er verder kunnen met de planning en de ontwikkeling. Met vriendelijke groeten, Arthur G. Sutsch Chairman Swiss Section

3 RREC Continental Conference 2011 Topics for the RREC Continental Conference 2011 Version 1.0 ags/22 February The Continental Club Shop As a result of the Berlin Conference, the Continental Sections now can have their own Club Shop in their own language and base currency in Euro, as well as other currencies. Details see file attached. Presentation by Arthur G. Sutsch and Arnold Bralts. 2. The relationship SHRMF and the Club We want an official opinion from one of the Trustees of the foundation (a nonmember of the Club and one of the independent engineers) on the following questions: a. How can they justify their behaviour vis-à-vis of the Club and its members? b. How can they dare to consider throwing the Club out of the Hunt House? c. How do they dare to devise a scheme of acquiring (spoliation) all the goods the club has wanted to place in safeguard into a foundation? There must be straight forward answers to these questions, no hiding behind false pretense of whatever kind. We consider spending sums in the order of some in lawyers and other fees ludicrous with members money! 3. How can it be justified, not to maintain the building(s)? There are definite security problems and major expenses involved in putting things right. a. Who is responsible for maintenance? b. Why is nothing being done about this? c. Where are the amounts appropriated for this purpose? Should there be a non-payment situation we demand to buy back the Club s goods within the foundation for a symbolic amount, i.e The relationship between the Club and the Association of Bentley and Rolls-Royce Specialists must be explained by one of its representatives. To be clear, we want more transparency when a member uses the Association for restoring his car: a. What are the time elements proposed and actual? b. What about the validity of cost proposals? c. What is the responsibility of a Specialist? d. What does the Club do, does it intervene versus the Specialists? 5. Does the Club have any definite offerings for advantages in cost for its members via hotel chains, petrol companies, etc.? There have been efforts by Gerwald Anderle to promote such benefits but the Club has not been able to conclude anything, reason being that Gerwald has resigned from that benefit committee. The Belgian Section has reached an agreement with P&O Ferries for a fare discount. Do the Continental Sections want to take this topic up by themselves? 6. Transparency of costs a. The Yearbook apparently has brought the club a benefit of some to ; Topics for Continental Club Conference 2011.doc Page 2 Version 1.0ags 22 February 2011

4 RREC Continental Conference 2011 Tony James states that this will benefit all members. Why then an increase of 3 in membership fees? b. Transparency of fees for MC members, the president, their representation fees, etc.? Is there a control over expenses incurred? 7. Cost Increase for Membership Fee must be proposed to the members as is the custom in the Continental Sections. A Management Committee simply cannot raise membership fees and then just communicate such a raise. In some countries this is forbidden by law. 8. What are the benefits for Continental members by paying the dues to the Hunt House? 9. Questions and Topics raised in the Berlin Conference Minutes (see copy for details ) - Balance between membership fee and return: what would it take to make the membership fees worthwhile? - English as the Club language: do you regularly read (and understand) the Bulletin? - How many times a year do you use the facilities of the Hunt House (incl. archives, homepage, seminars, direct contact to MC members, etc.)? - Did you like the combined Bulletin/Advertiser? - Insufficient Communication from the Hunt House to the Continental members. - Create a Continental Europe Working Group at the Conference. Meet once a year in a member country. Topics for Continental Club Conference 2011.doc Page 2 Version 1.0ags 22 February 2011
