well guys to be honest membership really is what you make of it, I'd like to say you get to be part of something and help to keep it alive and that be reason enough but for most people I guess it isn't ! 
We do have interstate members (And canberra is not far anyway !) and they join for a few different reasons.
As an interstate member your benefits of membership are reduced and we do understand that. From a $$$ perspective you do get what I think is good value just in the merchandise, (New members get a Polo shirt, sticker, membership card and each preceeding issue of the club newsletter)
We are trying to work on sponsorship deals in other states but its difficult without having a sizeable membership base in that area and some local assistance.
We also understand that it is more than difficult for interstate people to attend any of our events !
I guess it really comes back it why you want to join in the first place.
I actually really appreciate it when we do get interstate memberships, As a general rule these are the people that join to help support something they think is worth while rather than what they think they can get out of it. They join because they want to support the club and its for these people we try and get sponsorshp deals and the like. I'll be honest its also these people we are more willing to help should they need it as far as advice or finding parts etc. I'll be the first to admit if I have 5 minutes spare and 2 people want advice I can assist with, I will ALWAYS help the club member first.
Hell if just 10% of the people who registed on the forums joined and renewed each year we would be able to acheive a hell of alot more as a club. We have over 2400 registered forum users who use and benefit from our club. Yet we have all of 65 financial members ! yep just 65 people who are prepaired to support the club with a few dollars once a year, Its these 65 people (and the members before them) that make it possible for the other 2300 odd to have any form of Toymods at all !
(I would like to mention and thank the non-members who have helped support these forums with donations tho, it is greatly appreciated and by no means unnoticed)
So what is the benefit.........Tangibly its a t-shirt, sticker and a Newsletter I guess. So if thats the only reason you were thinking of joining you will prolly get a better deal at lowes !
