To quote from the Business Club's official rules:

The objects of the Club shall be:

• wherever practicable to provide business services that assist paid up members in the operation of their guest accommodation,
• wherever practicable to support Club Members on a one to one basis or act as a signpost where general forum advice is insufficient,
• in appropriate circumstances to seek to raise the profile of BedPosts to provide Club Members with a collective industry voice,
• to consider any reasonable opportunity that will extend the delivery of facilities for the benefit of the Club Members of BedPosts,
• to expand the membership of BedPosts, to strengthen the voice of Club Members and to improve the range of services provided, and
• to ensure so far as possible, the continuation of the free BedPosts forum.

In furtherance of the above objects the committee has organised the following benefits to be available on launch day, 7th October 2013:

• Participation in BedPosts customers' reviews scheme.
• Feed of customers' reviews onto members' own websites.
• Special Club Class member badge to replace free member badge on their websites.
• Advertisement of Club Class businesses above free forum members on BedPosts.org.uk.
• One-to-one support or signposting.
• Special dedicated forum topics for updating Club members, features such as "Origin of names", etc.
• Access to "let off steam" blog to the outside world.
• Discounted price for Annual Conference ticket.
• Featured accommodation and photo competition for special marketing exposure.
• Plus all benefits receivable by free forum members.

The additional bookings generated by the BedPosts customer reviews scheme will more than pay for the annual subscription. This is even before calculating the savings on online travel agents commissions!

• Upgrade (only £50 p.a. per business) from free-to-join member to Club Class (through login if not logged in now) or
• Join as a free member (you are an independent accommodation provider - not part of a chain)
