Joseph - I can call your bluff on that! The Europa Club does accept
subs by credit card (MC or Visa - not debit or charge cards) and has
done for quite a few years. We went through a lot of red tape here to
set up the card acceptance facility specifically because so many
overseas people wanted to join the Club. For those unused to
transactions in different currencies, it's very simple - we get the
amount we ask in pounds sterling; you get billed for the equivalent
amount in dollars just as usual (normally with a note about the
currency conversion).
And in respect of the PFA approved mods - the people who produced the
first one had to do a lot of work to convince PFA Engineering that
the mod _and_ the documentation were up to scratch. I feel that Club
members who have donated that amount of elbow-grease to the Club are
entitled to insist that the fruits of their labours are distributed
only to Club members - not to anyone who just wants to have it all
for nothing.
Anyone who wishes to know more about the Club, please ask me for the
latest info by e-mail (no obligation). The document posted here a
while back has now been superseded in several respects.
