You are all right!
We are well and truly in the twenty first century now and the internet has very much taken over, just look at the high streets. The club does need to move forward and as much as I do like and look forward to a good magazine to read, ninety nine percent of the time it's the internet that I look to for information on things. I suspect most of the other users of this forum do too and apparently that's well over 200 folk.
The club does organise a lot of things , which most of us do take for granted. It is worth supporting the club and we do need to all pull together and in the same direction. Unfortunately though there's only a handful of people that take an active role in things but that's pretty much the case for any organisation. There are a fair amount of costs incurred running any kind of club and these days particularly, people are looking for value for money and are aware of things being more and more expensive. However if any of you do go along to just one of the many club supported events I think you will find that you will get a pretty good deal for your subs to the club , its not just a magazine we benefit from. I recommend to anyone that they join in and take an active part in what is going on rather than just sitting on the sidelines, it's far more rewarding and enjoyable to be part of something rather than just an observer.
Regarding the magazine my article unfortunately was simply too late to get in this next issue but it will be in the following one and others after that too as I intend to write about what I have been and continue doing to my car. Whilst doing a number of things with my car I have spoken with Alistair on countless occasions and I can tell you that the Midas is certainly not stagnating. I know of some excellent developments in the pipeline but I can not tell you about them and it's for Alistair to reveal these as and when he is ready and able to. The mods I am making to my car will be in future issues of the magazine and I dare say Alistair is bound to do some articles too on what he does also.
There's lots of people up to all sorts of things with their cars, why not share them and write something to help us all benefit from being a group of enthusiasts who love these little cars.
