With the higher costs every year I ask why do we have two National Clubs both
producing a Austin Healey Magazine. You would think that the time will
eventually come that they will merge and become one.
I know that this has come up many times over the years and has always caused
hard feelings. But after all isnt it just all about the cars and what we do
with our cars.

Thanks for your response
IMO if I am subscribing to a magazine that I will ultimately collect and
possible refer to I need the cover to be of a heavier weight paper than the
contents. The cover is supposed to be protecting the contents. The latest issue
feels like one of the inserts you throw away from the Sunday paper.
I'm sure money could be saved by not publishing the calendar or the membership
registry.
I will definitely reconsider continuing my membership.

Tim,
Well I would not know if it is in fact rice paper but it is indeed not as
glossy as what the cover previously was.
Given the fact that printing cost has increased, mailing is up as well and the
reality facing most Clubs these days, declining membership, something had to
give. While not wanting to increase the dues, the Board of Directors were left
with few choices and
this was one of the least painful. When one looks at the cost of membership in
most other areas of life from golfing to attending events etc. the membership
dues in any car clubs is extremely reasonable.
I personally believe that membership in any Club where a magazine is
published, being monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly should start at around
$110.00 a year given what is delivered to the members. With $45.00 dues, the
Board has to sometimes make difficult
decisions that affect the delivery of their services.

Anyone else think the latest issue is printed on rice paper?
