One other thought for club 'powers that be' to contemplate. Several years ago (...and for 3 or 4 years in a row) we held a Fordbarn Workshop at my shop as a way of encouraging hands-on restoration work by the hobbyist. This is not to be confused with a Seminar, but instead it was a gathering of hobbyists that brought projects to work on, or assisted others working on theirs. I feel like it was well attended and well received, ...and the reason I have not continued it was the time expense it took to host it. Also, I always felt weird about having it at my place because it seemed like a conflict of interest but they were a blast to attend none the less.
There was also one hosted by the Model A Club in Rochester in which Will & I drove up to attend. My point is I feel one of the Nat'l clubs really needs to explore and persue a way to host several of these annually around the country as a way to promote hands-on maintenance and restoration for their membership.
BTW, here are some pix from the last Workshop we held at my shop.....
