And while am I thinking (and I am sure the committee have considered all this) might the newsletter be better by email? It could be used to drive traffic to the website and make that more relevant, save costs and save the planet? On the forum – why keep people out? Our 700 members are a fraction of the community…why not draw people in and work with other forums such as SportsMaserati and Maserati Life? Our forum is very quiet…..On membership why not offer reduced 1st year membership or commission l deals with places like Emblem, McGrath’s and the new and used Maserati dealer network for including the clubs details with their invoices or new car owner handover process?
I don’t want to appear negative – the events are great, I enjoy Trident, I am just challenging the operating model….how has it changed over the last 5 year? I get everyone does their best with no resources but can’t help thinking we could do a lot more given the interest in cars at the moment…
Rant over – I am back to the garden
