Small consideration. But I'm having difficulty in explaining it;

"Coming" suggests a continued connection.

As of and from July 8th that relationship will have ended, so should
that termination be recognised?

As in : As of and from July 8th I will no longer be going to the club.
Note; "going", not "coming"

The reason I chose "As of and from..." is because  "... wont be coming
to the club from the 8th of July on (onwards?) could mean after the
8th, or after a point in time during the 8th.

Hello:

Your preferences please.

1. I won't be coming to the club as of the 8th of July.
2. I won't be coming to the club from the 8th of July.
3. I won't be coming to the club from the 8th of July on.
4. I won't be coming to the club starting on the 8th of July.
5. I won't be coming to the club as of the 8th of July anymore.
6. I won't be coming to the club after the 7th of July anymore.
7. I won't be coming to the club after and including the 8th of July
anymore.
8. As of 8th of July, I'll stop coming to the club (anymore).

They are all supposed to mean: I'll stop coming to the club on the 8th
of July.

Am especially curious about 1. Does "as" with no additives (as in 5),
work for something expected to continue?

Thanks.
Marius Hancu
