I assume all of you have written technical articles and sent them in to Charles Neal?
John, Over the 4 years that Ann & I have been MSCC Members, I have written to said Editor on numerous 'non technical' occasions and have never received any acknowledgement or publication of my requests. Two Different 'Dear Charles' items, the second of which I sent at least twice. ( A request for MSCC Members who owned Roadster 100's to make contact with me)
When I was planning my Sponsored Around Britain Trip my request for a Miscellany fundraising notice to members was also ignored, despite numerous requests for it including one nudge via the Chairman. (a request also ignored by the majority of the Center Secretaries I wrote to.) I did however eventually receive a line on the subject in the Eds report, alongside one for the the guys from Kent doing a Charity Le Jog.
A small paragraph and one of my photos would have been more productive when other more verbose contributors get multiple pages on their 'outings' and in one case, was even extended over two months. Fortunately, my colleagues in the Register have had more success with our Waddesdon Day Ads, where we have been well supported.
This level of determination is for me 'unknown' as I usually work on the principle of 'Once Ignored, then Stuff Em' which is where I am with Miscellany ( and certain ignoring members of the Center I once joined ).
It was only my interest in Promoting the Roadster 100 Register and Our Fundraising for Help for Heroes which gave me the extra impetus. I certainly will not be bothering again. We bought our Morgans for the car.
Frank.
