Posted 20 January 2011 - 9:22am on Freeski Club UK
Or am I looking in the right place? I'm thinking that it's about time I coughed up to use the site since I do use the forum from time to time. ISTR though that membership used to come with a DVD and a hat and maybe some other stuff - although also ISTR it used to cost a bit more. Did all that get scrapped in favour of just the discount scheme?

thanks

No they canned it last year. Can't remember the exact reasons (poor memory) but its £15 for everyone now rather than paying an increased rate.

And you still get all the same discounts

think it was £30 with 2 gifts (from t-shirt, beanie, edge-tool, pocket-tool or a lock plus option of a SCUK hoody upgrade) and now £15 with none.

around the same time the SCUK logo changed (and a lot of talk about SCUK 2.0 website and talk of offering SCUK merchandise through a shop on the new webby) so guess it was a decision that old SCUK-logo items were practically run out and no point getting more done until the new shop is open with the new logo's merch. if that makes sense.

If I remember rightly you could buy the £15 membership before anyway, maybe sales of the £30 memberships weren't enough to keep bothering?

OK great stuff, I'll just get the £15 one then. I just wanted to make sure that I was looking in the right place and I wouldn't end up kicking myself when I saw the goodie-laden membership available on a different page.

Thanks all.

Hey All,

OK so the membership has changed, last year. We used to do an 'Adult' membership which cost £30 and came with 2 gifts, either a t-shirt, beanie etc.,and a 'Lite' membership that came with just a card and some stickers. We now only do a 'Full' membership, which comes with just a card, TSA voucher and some stickers.
If you got a beanie and a tool for £15 then you were very lucky or I made a mistake!

Hope this clears it up.

Cheers,
Jess

Are any of the SCUK-branded items still available, or going to be made available to buy?

Knew I'd seen a board lock somewhere in the past and been searching around for one, only to remember that it was probably with the old 'full' membership.

Dear Jess, if you accidentally put one in my membership renewal when you're processing it this week I'll be very impressed, grateful and just generally in awe of your brilliance!

The SCUK shop is now online as part of Boardwise. Click on one of the banners that appear at the top or bottom of the site saying scuk shop.

No SCUK-branded gubbins anymore on Boardwise? See there's a Burton board lock but no SCUK one anymore.

Hoodies are available direct:
www.snowboardclub.co.uk/hoodies

There's a handful of tools, locks, edge tuners and T shirts left, but they're in my garage, not at SCUK HQ. I tend to take them along to the UK Bashes or dish them out as prizes when we're sponsoring event.

I got the Burton lock from Boardwise. Quite small and sturdy. Incidentally they didn't accept the SCUK discount as they have a minimum spend limit online.

Minimum spend is back definitely - just put the board lock through and wouldn't accept the discount.

Hey,

Had confirmation from Boardwise that there is a minimum spend but it is only £10.

Hope this clears it up for you.
Cheers,
Jess

Yeah I know that, but the file is single cut one side and double cut the other. Didn't know if it mattered which way it was loaded or not.

A silly question to most people but didn't wanna feck about with the edges on my first maintenance
