Currently the club officers with our club are having a little (ok large)
discussion about the same thing. I think posting newsletters on the web is
a great idea and should be done, most other officers think we will lose
members if they don't have to pay.
The resolution we have temporarily come up with is we put up indexes for
the last 5 years and have one issue from last year on the web in PDF. The
plan is to have a past issue up at all times and let them decide if they
want to join based on the indexes from the past 5 years. Seems to work and
no they are not behind some password.
Seems, to me that putting the newsletter behind some password system
would prevent "Joe Surfer" from seeing what is probably the clubs best
asset and hinder his/her decision to join.
