There is certailnly a point in having the buying power of a lot of people
cenralised.
Probably none of the subcontracters is very much interested in making one
part for one builder. But if we can present a list of what builders need or
wll need, things could change.I hope that somebody in the club, or outsider,
will be so unselfish as to take the trouble of compiling such a demand list for
the subcontracted parts. But of course, it is everybodies free choice to try
to source for himself. For that reason it would be most helpfull to have the
subcontractor data somewhere available. For the "standard" parts also however
such a list would be great.
Idea:
Rowland has put a lot of parts in a database. It should be fairly simple to add
one or more possible suppliers to that list and put it on the net. Preferrably
on a public club page. I guess there are more people like SteveD who don't
like forced on memeberships. I personally also like to be able to join and or
pay without obligation, for something i like.

As I understood things the Europa Club with a membership of approximately
600 was suggested as a point of contact and to provide a focus of solidarity
when trying to work with Suppliers and Vendors whist the future of Europa
manufacture and service was still uncertain. That was for all including
those Europa's flying, near to flying and especially others with incomplete
kits. The idea was to increase the number of Members to represent as many as
possible of those affected, all of us at some maybe. I think with respect
that gaining $25.00 for new members is a nonsense as too is control of
access to Vendors and others as exclusive to Club. In the interests of even
handedness I can see why you feel strongly on this as the word 'shouldn't'
was probably a little blunt at this early stage of the 'Europa problem'.
Can we all relax a little. My concerns are for those who have no Kit or only
a partial kit and feel pretty low at the moment with nothing other than a
significant loss of money to show regarding their Europa.
