dirtypot Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I pay a sanparks/ tmnp permit. That money for mtb should be given to tokaimtb. Why must I pay extra? premium membership? But it's not. We all know that. Which is why I'm happy to pay my Tokai membership fees for the trails to stay awesome. Paying SANParks gets us through the gate and that's it.
Meezo Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Interesting, not a TokaiMTB member, and wanted to attend the AGM with interest. I would of thought the AGM would be open to all, but the constitutional changes for members only
DieselnDust Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 But it's not. We all know that. Which is why I'm happy to pay my Tokai membership fees for the trails to stay awesome. Paying SANParks gets us through the gate and that's it. TokaiMTB receives donations for trail building so the membership fees aren't for that.Smells like the creation of an exclusivity club

Paying SANParks gets us through the gate and that's it. Something that needs to change isnt it!Mtb money for mtb, everything else to parks!!
JRM Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I'm not a Tokai MTB member but wanted to attend to see whether it was worth becoming one, please confirm that it is an absolute requirement in the constitution that we have to be members to attend - or is it something that Tokai MTB still wants to vote on and ratify? Happy to pay for membership if the benefits warrant it over and above my existing Activity Card, Green Card and Table Mountain MTB memberships?

Eddy Gordo Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Hi, it's not a change, we were required to create a membership database which we did at the start of 2018 and now instituting. Was this done behind closed doors?
Eddy Gordo Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 The previous agm we did not have a membership database. We have slowly worked towards achieving our goals, a membership component being one. It's a requirement. Not all is lost though, your funds are used to improve Tokai. We all want that, it's what everyone has in common.Is there financials that indicate how many paid up members and what the total was used for apart from donations from other entities?
Shebeen Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 jussis okes, what the actual hell? it's R300 - which is a pair of socks these days Have you ever served on a club committee? - it's a schlepp. the okes are volunteers. SANparks takes all the money, we all know that. it sucks, but it ain't changing anytime soon. Can't blame the committee for that. will sign up again, even if i can't make it
Robbie Stewart Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I'm curios. Seeing as the AGM is being held in a public library, not belonging to Sanparks or Tokai, surely there is no legal recourse to prevent anyone attending a public meeting about public use land?
(Deon) Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I give up. Continue bashing or looking for loopholes, gatecrash even... but please, for the love of God, admit each and every one of you that Tokai needs funds.
Duane_Bosch Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 FWIW. Deon & Mark. I'm in deepest darkest Africa so I won't be attending but I'll pay my $ tonight and you have my full support.

Not looking for loopholes, and my apologies for any bashing. Was just wanting clarity as things have changed since the last agm I have attended. Also as a note. Before the "tokai mtb club" was formed you and marc were trying to sell me on the idea, chance to win a bike, discount bike services etc. This didnt and still dont appeal to me. I used to donate to tokai build days, but have since stopped when the "tokaiclub" was formed last year.I dont like exclusion!!Its almost like the "ETOLLS" that so little payed and so many didnt.

Some of you should take the trouble to think before hitting the keyboard.
