In addition to its basic membership subscriptions, the Club shall be able to collect a fund of money to be
known as the Spares Levy. This can be regarded as a means of investment for members, as it will be used to support
the running of the Spares Scheme, the purpose of which is to provide spare parts, specialist tools and other items
which are necessary to repair, restore or keep running the cars in which the Club's interests lie. The provision of
this service, which is a declared aim of the Club, is considered necessary because such parts and services are known
to be unavailable from usual motoring sources, including Citroen Cars Limited. |

The Spares Levy fund shall be used firstly to support the running of the Spares Scheme, by such as insurance,
rent for storage and equipment for sorting of stock, and secondly for purchase or otherwise obtaining items for
sale in the Spare, Scheme. Such use of the fund shall be at the discretion of and by agreement with the Spares
Co-ordinator and the Committee, and money shall not be spent without their general consent. They will aim to use the
Fund in the best interests of the Club and the Spares Scheme. |

be sold at non-preferential rates to non-levy members and non-TOC members. |
