Greetings Sions,
Yesterday a gentleman posted his disgust with his local Sprite
club and was dropping out. At least he has a club that has
his club has members that are involved in seeing the club
continue. If he is unhappy with the leadership get those like
minded members to change the leadership. Our Triumph club hear
suffers from lack of membership support. Our mailing list has
at least 50 paid members. yet we can barely break 5 at a club
meeting. As the clubs original organizer, president, and news-
letter editor (the last post held for nearly 7 years) I got
burned out. The succeeding club president did very well, how-
ever in time he too got burned out. The membership won't travel
to events not held in their own home towns, so with nearly $2,000
in the treasury, our club is on the ropes.
What's the point? It's the MEMBERSHIP not the club officers that
determine a clubs vitality. If the membership take little or
no interest in the wellbeing of the club. It will die. If you
don't like the way your club is run set about to change it!
BTW, I got a fleeting glimpse of a Jag XK120 in the film
CALENDAR GIRL which was on HBO the other day... It was a fixed-
head coupe, I believe...
Cheers,
