Bill, for the folks that may want to support VAC, but not neccessarily the WBCCI proper at this time, does a prospective merchandise recipient need to be a Wally club member?
Not wanting to start another "discussion", just wanting to know if it's a condition of purchase.

Terry,

That is a good question and I don't know the answer. Although I am not sure why you would want the merchandise which says "Vintage Airstream Club WBCCI Intra-club" if you were not a WBCCI member. I don't know what restrictions we have with either WBCCI or Airstream on selling to WBCCI members only as I have not seen the licensing agreement with Airstream or any restrictions from WBCCI.

Perhaps Shari will see this topic and give us her opinion.

Here is the logo:

The background of the flags is silver gray.

I was thinking about the forums members here that like the VAC, but not so much WBCCI as to be a member. They may wish to purchase merchandise to help you generate funds, and may never use or wear the items.

I am not asking for WBCCI numbers and I am not going to check my current directory, which is not always up to date anyway.

I have been informed that the licensing agreement with Airstream restricts us in selling only to current members of the Vintage Airstream Club. Please make sure that your dues are current before ordering anything.

Now that is very odd. Would you have to be a Ford owner to wear a Ford logo hat? Do you have to play for an NFL team to wear an NFL shirt with the team logo on it? Do you have to play with Tiger Woods clubs to wear his brand of golf clothes? No, I don't think so. It's free advertising for the club. The more the better, maybe some will join - that would be an improvement. Airstream needs to get over this strangle hold they have on the logo and move on. What are they going to do - recall the shirt if I join for one year and the drop out?

All Bill said was that VAC's licensing agreement limits VAC's sale of these items to members. [Which I agree is ridiculous.] Once you have bought a VAC-logo item I reckon you can do whatever you want with it--including selling it to a non-member--since Airstream doesn't have any licensing agreement with you!

As for me, I have a nice pre-licensing, non-IBT-approved VAC flag which I will have to be sure to fly at the International, if only to see if the WBCCI Kops make a fuss about it. [Unauthorized flag, don'tcha know. . .]

Cheers,
Nuvi

This merchandise looks great & I will be ordering some items soon. Will these items be available on the WBCCI web site and/or the VAC web site in the near future?

I have asked Toby Folwick, VAC webmaster, to post the order blank. I expect that there will also be information in future issues of the Vintage Advantage.

I have posted the notice on the WBCCI web site also.

If I were a non-WBCCI/VAC member and wanted to purchase a VAC hat or flag I'd JOIN THE CLUB! That way none of us DUES PAYING members get heat from the WBCCI or Airstream for not meeting our agreement.

Just a thought..........
Ed

Just another reason to join the club

There is alot of WBCCI stuff for sale on the internet without any conditions. Not sure I understand why there would be conditions here. ???
