We are a non profit organisation, so any money we receive
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(premium membership fees, affiliate fees etc) HAS to be spent on the club.

This is how we are able to lay on so much stuff for our members at events like JAE, without charging any extra to you.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
JAE tickets for example cost US
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£25 to buy, so you are getting the marquee, furniture, lighting, generator, hog roast etc all from the money that's been paid to the club from membership fees, NOT from ticket sales.

Some clubs charge
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£35+ for JAE tickets so they can cover their costs, because they're not run as well as IMOC-UK.

On top of that we've got things like the cost of renting the server
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(a complete server, not virtual space) and our liability insurance, etc etc.

Some clubs charge
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£25 a year for membership for the same reason.

If you sent us more money we'd have to find more creative ways of spending it! We don't do enough events at the moment for sure, but you're an IMOC Organiser

Donate your time rather than money?

There are fewer MR2s on the roads every year and therefore fewer premium members and fewer customers for our affiliates, so we may have to re-evaluate in the future
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(we've already started discussing that)! Thanks for the thought, though
