The Locost Builders 'Club'
Although I have some very important things to do, I'm going to pretend their not there and waste precious time by asking a simple question...
can we make this a club?
handy for insurance purposes also, so I've read 
and I want a club members tie

I think we should try to do something like this ASAP.
We used to have the Locost Car club (and I guess we still do for insurance purposes) but it's mostly gone now.
As a group we should be able to get some pretty impressive attendance at kitcar shows, trackdays etc... As well as having good discounts etc... from a
lot of suppliers.

don't forget about the police escort when you wore the tie and how folk commented 'they don't make tie's like that
anymore'

Am I missing something here? Isn't it already a "club", since you have to register, you have an ID and are called a
"member". What more is needed (formal articles of association, maybe?)
As far as ties go, why not buy a cheap plain-coloured tie, print off the design of your choosing onto transfer paper and iron it on. Its suppsoed to
be for T shirts but I can't see why it wouldn't work on a tie. Personally, I wouldn't wear a tie though...

If you wanted a valuation for insurance purposes and said 'well I go on the web to this web site thing, we all think we're in a club
but...' instead of 'I'm a member of...', see where I'm going here?
no oh well back to work

I don't know, how do other clubs manage it? Area representatives?
There seem to have quite a lot of folk on here that are building cars from scratch. They cannot simply get their cars valued by a manufacturer or a
specific members club for that car. But if this was a club a valuation could be given as such, even if it was just a form.
Probably horrific grammar there.

would the word 'locost' on a thong convey the right message?
