There's been much discussion over the past year regarding the pro's and con's of having a Crossfire club in the UK. Having followed posts and hearing views, I thought it was time to put forward a proposal so we can all move forward together with with a common aim.

Due to the low numbers of our clan, a formal club with all the required formalities is not neccesary. Therefor we should remain as an informal group with no appointed leaders, no membership fees etc. If the group was to grow, Im sure this could change.

XFi. The Club, as you will have read, has been reformed and has been legally registered in the USA. Apart from the benefits of being part of the collective voice for the Xfire, it may be important to consider that this forum may not exist for the long term. It continues due to the kindness of its owner at no charge. Without it we would be out of business. XFi are very conciouse of this and will be taking an active role in preserving this forum for the long term, and thats a cause worth supporting. The posts indicate that most people would like to have some association with XFi, and I believe the best way to do this is to a become a member of XFi, but its an individuals choice.
I understand XFi will be open for memberships in 2/3 weeks time, I expect fees and payment method to be conf' by XFi in dur course. Please note, access to the forum is not dependant on being a member of XFi. I just believe its worthwhile.

There is also interest in operating under a group name. Given the above, I would propose the name XFi UK. This would demonstrate our affiliation with XFi, which would be supported through hopefully some of us choosing to be paid up members. Affiliation means that we would share the same values, goals and ethos as XFi, who are also supportive of this.

There are about 12 drivers attending the meets, and if the majority of these indicate their views and agreement/diss agreement we can take it as a vote and move forward together.

The above represents only my views, if anyone would like to offer an alternative proposal, the floor is open!
