After a bit of a chat with other club members, we were discussing the club in general and wondered if we could get any feedback from the committee about some of the things we have been talking about.
Since the last AGM, we have heard ideas for the future of the club such as an improved regalia section and an online FAQ. Looking at other clubs on the net, particularly the 1100 Club and the Maxi OC the general consensus is that it would not hurt for our club to follow a lead from these two, as they both seem to do particularly well in some areas where it would seem our own club struggles. In particular the 1100 club has a very good regalia section with usual items which seems to sell well at events etc. Those of us who like to keep up to date with the running of the club have not heard much about our own regalia situation for some time and were wondering where the club is up to at the moment with this? The Maxi owners club has a very good internet site – its website is updated very regularly, and its main page always offers something new to visitors at least every month. As far as I can tell, our own club main page has been the same for a few years. Some sections particularly untouched, such as the “show us your cars” feature – which I think would be a great feature if it was updated and refreshed regularly. Our current forums are fantastic, and I don’t know of any other club that has such a successful forum with such a vibrant community. It is a testament to the hard work that goes into it. But it is a shame to see the rest of the site eclipsed by just the forums. Who knows how many people are put off from investigating the club further when they see the same things month after month every time they visit the main areas of the clubs site?
I know it is very easy to sit and offer suggestions to the people running the show, and it is by no way a criticism to the hard work done by everyone to make this club what it is, but it is sometimes frustrating to see the club fall behind in some areas that could be done to such a high standard and really make the Maestro & Montego Owners Club stand out from the crowd in the classic car movement!
It would be nice to hear what the committee has planned for the future and its current ideas.
