VR6Pete 1,456 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Things have slowed down considerably with the club as of recent times, and we need your help to keep things running and help to reinvigorate our club. The VR6 Owners Club was founded over 18 years ago, however due to lower visitor and paid membership numbers we are at risk of losing almost 2 decades of information, posts, build threads, photos and guides. Social media has had a large impact on how users interact and the heart of the VR6 Owners Club was our community forum for many years. We have an active presence on social media, however we are unable to build services that brings in much needed funds to cover even our basic costs through social media platforms. We need your help to help secure the future of the club, and its website in terms of covering hosting, software renewal fees. Please help by donating as little or as much as your can afford - every penny will go back into the club to ensure its longevity for years to come ! https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/the-vr6-owners-club We are also seeking moderators, social media savvy folk to help promote our club, membership, merchandise managers and club membership secretary and event managers (when things return to normal in this crazy world we now live in). If you think you can help, please do reply below and we can talk more! Link to post Share on other sites

Please send me your paypal details for shop merch, I recently had all the stock sent back from the old shop manager but need to go through it and get all stock levels updated but with one thing or another (and having 4 children!) have not been able to do so yet so will for now refund your money until I can get chance to get shop updated and up and running etc… How do you think you can help to promote club etc… ?
