The vision is same as other clubs.
Once the grand launch happens,we will decide on the membership fees.

My humble suggestion is avoid collecting any kind of fee from members. The members too will feel happy and valued. A general meet doesnt really need any fund except for parking.

Ultimately, any Fiatian or Fiat enthusiast should be able to join the club. Money shouldnt create a barrier.

Good luck!

As you guys are doing T-Shirts, Caps and stickers you charge for that. In this case its better to charge than giving it for free.

But yeah, not some fees like Annual membership fees etc.

Yes. Since these would be optional for members, there will be no question of any disappointments. These are just our views. You guys take a call!

@FCB..Thanks for your suggestions.We shall do our best.

chanu · 13th April 2010, 23:49

A small correction guys my surname is Iyengar but not Iyer.

As you all know the club is now legally registered thanks to Ram for his efforts and the zeal to have this club at this stage and I am sure we all will take it up seriously, faithfully or fiatfully and try to set an example. I personally thank each and everyone who have been a support, guidance to our members/club.

This club is started by Fiat/Premier Padmini lovers and will continue to have like minded people meeting together disscussing and spreading awareness, hobby and heritage of Fiats. As a club we have our responsibilities, duties etc which we chalk out our projects, plans in future meets and execute the same with the same ethusiasm which made us to reach this point. I am feeling proud to be a founder member of this club and will render my share FIATFULLY.

Great car and very well preserved by its owner. So finally FCH is now FCCH. Eagerly waiting for the mega event.

Is that a Herald in black color in the background??

Wow, this is awesome news! Your efforts sure are paying off, ram!

Nice to have "Norton" Singh joining the club too! Has he acquired the car recently btw? Because when I'd last seen it at a DHAA rally couple of years ago,
I remember seeing someone else driving it down.

Sagar bhai- yes, that's a '63 mk1 Herald, owned by a friend.

Pappy Seth owned it from 2005 i guess.It was at one of the DHAA Rallys in 2007 Jan,if i remember correctly.
Now it is a proud member of FCCH.
