club outings with Model A cars
I took on the job of being our model A clubs activity director and part of that role is trying to get the members interested in participating in some activities with their A's. We have a regular yearly event listing in our club newsletter sent out by either e-mail or snail mail , however I feel it would be beneficial to have more impromptu local day outings even if its just meeting for coffee or visiting another member's workshop or just a scenic drive.
It would be of benefit to hear back from other forum members as to their successes in getting the guys out for a day trip. How do you communicate with other club members ? etc. hoping to hear back on your thoughts |

Re: club outings with Model A cars
Even with almost all the dues going towards our newsletter printing and mailing, the members of our club want the newsletter mailed. The money could be used to off set events, dinners, and the like but the members want the printed word.

Re: club outings with Model A cars
Our electronic newsletter has more pictures and of course, in color. Another incentive is a few bucks off dues for first time subscribers .i think at one it may have been sent to any one with an email, just to give them a taste.

Here's what works for us: Our club meets every Friday for coffee and chat. (It's mostly the guys, but gals are welcome, too.) We talk up the next trip and arrange the rendezvous location and departure time. To encourage participation, the Club sends out email reminders to online members. Photocopied notices are handed out at the coffee meetings. We still snail mail a handful of notices, but not many. The club has 100 members total; usually have about 20 cars on each trip. For ideas, we are open to suggestions from everybody. At a Spring pot luck, each proposed trip is discussed briefly, changes suggested, then whole club chooses the trips and works out the schedule for the season. Our trips are either Sat. or Sunday every weekend of the driving season. |

Re: club outings with Model A cars
Girl with wrench: Its anything and everything to do with communication methods and incentives used to gather interest of the club members to participate. Some good ideas so far. We have close to 90 members but only get 12-20 cars at big events. I'm more interested in small day trips which are spontaneous. So far I think I'll just have to use the emailing.

Re: club outings with Model A cars
The important thing to remember us that it is their Club and not your club ! Make sure their ideas are solicited and given proper consideration! Then you can correlate all their suggestions and provide the group with a study sheet. Let them choose! A good time to do this is during the slow period ( winter ) months before the event takes place ! No surprise attacks ! JMHO, Wayne
