The Register started some time ago and was affiliated to the Group B Car Club, which sadly no longer exists. The management of the Register was passed from David Yu to Joss Ellis who established the original forum. Some of the original forum still exists in the deepest recesses of IT archives but right now I can't find it. Cem took over the GTR register some time ago and created a new forum and invested in developing the site to offer much more that a forum.
For over a year there had been discussions about establishing a paid for club that would offer members a lot more benefits. Discussions were held about making it part of the forum or keeping it separate. It was agreed at a pub meet attended by about 30 people that they should be separate and a GTR Owners Club established. It was agreed that this forum (GTR Register) would remain the communication channel and on-line presence for the GTROC and the "Club" would be an independent organisation that provided benefits to members and used the forum as its on-line presence. Thus a symbiotic relationship was established that benefited both parties but also allowed the two parts to focus on what they could do best.
The origianl Board Members of the GTROC when it held its Establishment Meeting at the Sheraton Skyline were:
Guy Ratcliffe
Cem Kocu
Claire Williams
Scott Martin
Shin Inoue
John Fuggles
In simple terms. Today if you wish to use the GTR Register to discuss matters GTR or Skyline it is free, all you need to do is register. If you wish to become a GTR Owners Club member and take advantage of the benefits we offer – including three dedicated members-only forum sections there is an annual fee.
