Pcg

[Fran]

I haven't but I am going to, mostly for the legal advice, tax investigatino insurance and legal team and cheap PI insurance (another on the todo list).

Why cant I vote on this here poll!


Whoops, I hadn't logged in!

Dragging up ancient history to make some obscure point about dodgy commercial dealings 7 years ago, especially when it's the ones who took the money out who are no longer any part of the organisation, is utterly pointless IMHO.

True, it does not reflect the PCG as it is now - it is not a dodgy organisation.

However - it is interesting, so not utterly pointless at all.

My membership is up for renewal but I don't think I'll bother with the PCGPlus level again - the PAYE Audit stuff shouldn't be a problem if you use a decent accountant and the Jury Service stuff you can either remove yourself from the electoral roll or just ignore the summons if it ever arrives.

[Xenophon]

Have voted 'yes' but am disappointed that I didn't go for the AndyW options as it's a corker. Well done SA

Same here. Great work, Sal!



I am a PCGPlus member and it really is a very small price to pay for the insurance, benefits and access to a support network. I called the PCG office only yesterday with a query following a letter from my agency and Kevin straightened it all out for me in about 30 seconds. Perfect.

Has anyone been investigated by HMRC and sought the services of PCG/Insurance they provide? What was your experience?

[NotAllThere]

I used to be a member of the PCG, and if I lived in the UK, I'd definitely be a member. However, as I have no intention of returning to those hallowed shores, it's highly unlikely I'll ever rejoin. Still got my membership card though.

[Board Game Geek]

Who here is a member? And who wouldn't bother? (And who is like me, and thinking of joining?) (I'll do a poll).

The only time I would consider joining, is when the PCG become the equivalent of the Royal Society of Chartered Surveyors. with true political clout to elevate the IT profession, protect the workforce, etc.

All I can see is a 6th form BBC Micro computer club for nerds.

Blizzard servers down at the mo are they.

As someone that plays computer games during the majority of their existence you should fit in perfectly.

About 1454 people. All bar 5 of them have won the case, so I guess they had a positive experience. Of the 5 who lost, 3 were potentially winnable had they been run today, and one is going to appeal. S o iguess there's one unhappy person out there somewhere...
