that have sensibly been discontinued by many clubs, associations and community organisations in recent years. I’m guessing the magazine has been one of the biggest costs to the club (printing & postage, not to mention effort in production), and I feel there must be better ways to use the membership fees.” “I see no need for a hard copy, the digitised version is way better in every respect. At 78 I’m inspired to write something...” “Many members are not digital savvy and I think you should consider them in going digital.” “The new electronic version looks great. Certainly having a more timely journal is a welcomed improvement.” “I don’t know whose idea this was but it’s a bad decision” “It looks great. Congratulations. Well done.” “Had a chance to read the digital edition, looks great.” “The magazine looks great!! Thanks, I like getting via email too.” “I’d like to see a bit more ‘life’ in some of the run/ event reports. If the aim of

the reports is to advertise the enjoyment of being in the club and revelling in our cars, to encourage members to participate, and provide a bit of news, then some reports are fizzers” “Just to let you know that this is one of the clearest, easy to use online magazines.” “Firstly, I’m astonished at the sheer scale of this edition. You and Peter did an amazing job! 75 pages is nearly double the size of our regular print version. This is a big advantage of producing an online- only edition. Printing 75

pages would be prohibitively expensive, plus impractical (total page count must be multiples of 4).” “I very much enjoyed Ken Keeling’s story. It was an excellent read. There is nothing stopping us from putting stories like this on the club website as a “News” story. There is no limit to the page length and getting the story to members is even faster than can be achieved with a PDF magazine. To this end, I would like to see all chapters regularly publishing their stories on the website, rather than saving them for the magazine only.”
