How succesful was our stand at the nec classic car show
Hello
How succesful was our stand at the nec classic car show.
E.g How many ticket stubs did we collect.
How many new members joined.
How many renewals (i renewed at the stand)
How much did we take on regalia etc

So it should as it takes almost 3/4 of the subs total to produce it. Spend this % on the National and we'd be the envy of all clubs and have the event we deserve. The magazine is in my opinion too expensive, we do not need a 'coffee' table production to impart the branch information and articles. Still I suppose that the MMOC were after yet another award rather than produce what represents good value to its members.
It's been debated,Dean, but the MMOC seem to be in the 'dark ages' when it comes to new ideas,communication and ways of imparting information.
I think you are thinking along the right lines re downloadable info, but the mag should not be at extra cost to those who want it. We went down this avenue with 'a free National' when many members complained that as they did not attend the rally they could not see why their subs should benefit those who did.
Simple answer is to increase the subs, but only on the condition that improvements will be noticable, and that as we now have £200,000+ in savings, then we now stop putting away upto 10% of the clubs income into this pointless exercise.We don't need such huge savings especially when there are areas ,such as the National, that are starved of invention and proper funding.

I think the idea proposed was that it would be distributed free 'on line' to members - those who wanted a paper copy would pay extra!
There's an excellent Railway Magazine out there - published more or less weekly - ONLY available online, and free! It obviously survives on advertising revenue just fine !

No reason why the MMOC mag couldn't do likewise.

Hmm, I couldn't read a PDF on the toilet though!!Dean wrote:Has anyone ever thought of a downloadable PDF doc, instead of a glossy mag? Anyone wanting the mag still, pays extra for their membership. That should take out the printing and postage costs.

Oooh can we see it? a sort if MMOC ASBO..jonathon wrote: having received a PM warning me to stop critising the MMOC.
I think a lot of people put a lot of effort in to the stands at the shows - I spent a fab day on the LCV stand - and from the sounds of it lots of people enjoyed visiting us and the MMOC stand.
But I do think there are legitimate questions about how successful the stands were and also about how the club's funds are spent, especially in relation to the magazine. It would be a shame if we couldn't debate these things openly. Feedback is healthy and important for future shows.
