Re: WTA Membership charges
Could we sort this out also as a matter of priority please chaps…. I’d say that the fee should be less for associates, firstly, they or their employees can’t stand for council, secondly, they will be non voting. Therefore, they only get information from the association as opposed to input also. Also, the less the fee is for the associates (what is basically a spectator member), more Companies may choose to join and in turn, may increase the chance that our members may get of work offers etc.

Re: September
Can we re-name this thread something like web stats and post the most informative stats monthly?

I forgot to tell you that Jim and Chris I gave different rights to to try it out as editor and publisher IIRC.
I forgot, okay. 😆
K.
Just another thought. If we are all equal as council members, and we share all responsibilities, shouldn’t we all have the same editing rights on the website?

Re: WTA Engineer Register
OK 😳 , ….. I’ve just read the ‘WTA Member’ post by Ken in the members forum….. that seems to deal with the original question and scenario anyway :tup:

Point taken, Apologies for the wrong choice of words 😳 .
It’s no longer about a subscriber to a ‘special forum’, it’s now about the people who want to be a part of an organisation. When people now pay their £60, they belong to an association, not just get entry to a forum. They DO deserve (IMO) and should get work from their own association before or over someone who doesn’t want to join and stand with us. If for arguments sake, bus drivers started a trade association, would they advetise their ‘non members’ or members of another firm to be available for hire….. I think not!Del wrote:If you really think that we could possibly exceed the number of daily hits on the WTA website that are attracted to the UKW site then I stongley advise you to think again.
Sorry Sean, I don’t think that this has any relevance to this issue 😕 Obviously the WTA website is not going to attract more visitors that UKW, does that matter though? We are only here, because, as Ken has said:
kwatt wrote:a group of like-minded repairers decided that change was needed and an alternative to the existing trade association which didn’t seem to be operating on behalf of the industry and was, in fact, viewed as acting merely on behalf of a small band of elite members
What has that got to do with who has more hits?
Yes we are here for the whole of the trade, and yes, to do that, we have to be inclusive, BUT, within that ‘whole trade’, there are the rogues, fiddlers and pretend ‘cherry picking’ repairers etc that we also have to ensure do not get on this bus! So in a way, we have to be ‘exclusive’ aswell, and that would mean being exclusive to WTA MEMBERS. By linking the WTA repairers list to the repairs@ list, is IMO one way that the rogues etc can ride with us, for no fee and with NO repercussions.
Can we please have some input from Jim, Bryan, Steve and Lawrence on this issue please…..
Adrian 😕

I think that would mean little in the event of this occuring. The customer would lay the blame at the door of the WTA for the recomendation, and expect the WTA to sort it. The repairer however, could tell us where to go as he isn’t a member? Not a good postition to be in 🙁
Adrian
Re: WTA Engineer Register
Agreed Lawrence.
Thinking more in depth now about using repairs@ from the WTA site, and I’ve thought of a scenario that has a real chance of popping up.
Customer visits WTA site. After reading all about us, and now finding trust in us to help him/her get a proper repairer, he/she selects ‘find an engineer’, and in turn is routed to UKW. She inputs her postcode, and there are 4 repairers displayed. She picks, at random, repairer ‘A’. Now, repairer ‘A’ is NOT a member of the WTA.
3 Days later, the WTA recieves a serious complaint about repairer ‘A’.
QUOTE from the WTA constitution: “To provide an Arbitration scheme, for diputes that may occur between our members and their customers”.
Hmm, do we now have a problem? The repairer isn’t anything to do with the WTA, but the WTA has pointed the customer in the direction of that repairer…. I’m not sure that’s a good idea 😕
Any more thoughts?

Jim.
Sorry, didn’t explain correctly…. spelling mistakes AND the consitution need to be amended as it’s not our agreed one up there!

Re: WTA Website
That is bloody fantastic!! Thanks Ken, what a good job :tup:
I notice that some of the txt needs editing (spelling mistaqkes, constitution etc) but apart from that….. spot on!!
