Ok, so I'm maybe out of the loop a bit as I've not had the last Monstro or these service bulletins, they don't seem to have made it through to me (possibly my own fault - not sure if my email is up to date) . I thought a second thread may be better, as discussing in the one about the forum where some of this has been touched on, will be a distraction from that topic.
I'm just wondering where the club is going, what the long term plan is etc, now the new committee has had chance to settle in etc, and the season is nearer finishing than begining.
There's been talk of joining with other clubs etc- is this actually happening? what would the implications be i.e. how do they integrate? and what other clubs would come together?
What do we have in the pipeline to make the membership of £18.00 seem like good value? at the moment I've got to agree with such as Russ - the £18.00 seems a lot to cover just 1 copy of Monstro a year, yes there's club insurance etc, but that's not that much collectively.
I'm against this forum going members only, can we have an assurance that this will stay open? even though taking it private would make the club better value for members, I think it would have a very detrimental impact on car survival rates.
Also what's the situation with member numbers, how healthy are we on that front compared to the last few years. I know it was dropping a bit. As our cars get older, there will be less about, so in theory less members, but on the other hand we should be finding ourselves recruiting more as the cars become less mainstream, back when I joined in 2001, there were loads of cars, but really the cars were just bangers then - now there are less cars but maybe more enthusiasts.
