https://bmwmcindy.org/2014-annual-mileage/

Log into the website and have you total BMW mileage (across all bikes) and your total non-BMW mileage (across all bikes) available to enter. You will not see the form below unless you are logged in. The mileage period is January 1 through December 31.

You must be logged into the web site to access the form.

You will be able to enter BMW mileage as well as non BMW mileage your total will be automatically calculated.

The web site will generate an excel spread sheet for me to work with.

This data collection is needed to recognize those members who have ridden over 10,000 miles in that calendar year.

It is also used to calculate the high mileage rider award, for that year.

It also gives us a total of miles (BMW mileage as well as non BMW) ridden by the entire club.

This information is posted on a plaque at the dealership.

We hope it will generate an interest in future members.

This information is collected for the Indianapolis BMW Club use only, and does not pertain to the NATIONAL BMW MOA mileage contest.

If you are having any problems please contact me by email at

wgwhiterabbit@sbcglobal.net

or by phone at 317-201-4952

If it is done that way you must receive a conformation from me that I have received the information.

2015 Dues Renewal and Awards Banquet Registration

Dear Clubmembers:
It’s time to start thinking about renewing your membership and signing up for the annual Awards Banquet next February.

Membership renewal is a simple two-step process.
1. Review/update your personal contact information on the website.
2. Pay for your dues by either check or credit card via PayPal. For 2015, the Club has decided to drop the $1.00 handling fee when using PayPal to simplify the dues payment process.

Key dates to remember…
Membership dues are due January 1st and are considered late after this date. The grace period for late dues renewal ends February 15th. As an incentive, members who renew on or before January 1 will be entered in a drawing. The winner will receive a $25 check and, thus, your membership will have a net cost of $0.

Paid reservations for the Awards Banquet are due January 31st.  The Awards Banquet is February 14th at The Palms in Plainfield.

Late renewals result in considerable additional work for our volunteers. Please pay on time. If payment is not received by the due dates you will be dropped from the directory and lose access to the website and the Yahoo discussion list. If you have a change of mind later and wish to rejoin the club, the reinstatement amount will be $40, which includes that calendar year’s dues.  Remember that participation on the Yahoo discussion list requires an active Indy BMW club membership.
You may pay for your dues and Banquet reservations at the same time or you can return to website at a later date for a second payment. If you are going to pay by mailing a check please allow adequate delivery time as payments must be received by the due dates, not just the postmarked by those dates.

Please renew on time. We don’t want to lose you!

Be sure you are logged into the website with your personal login and password before renewing your club registration. If you have any questions or problems, please contact me (Doug Johnson), Jim Brown, or Theresia Shearer, or you can reply to this note.
Thanks!
