George,
Thanks for the reply.
SpotMog is then a club within a club and I have now two clubs to join, simply to enjoy my hobby with others of a similar mind. Why, if I join the main club, should I have to pay twice? Why are those volunteers not reimbursed from club funds for their efforts? Why should I as a new member have to pay a separate fee when it's all one club after all? To me, that's an added expense that I term a 'tax'. I cannot become a member of SpotMog without paying it!!
Your mention of "..the common good.." also makes me think your golfing activities take precedence over motoring. There is a page on your website with much information regarding the golf, but absolutely nothing about Morgans!
I understand why people in a locality would like to meet and get together, but why is there a need to have a completely separate and financed committee and hierarchy to the main club? Surely, a news page either on-line or on paper is all that's needed?
It's Great British middle management all over again!!
Sadly there are so many people who are intent upon a power struggle within one-margue clubs that it simply puts people off from paying to join because there is simply no need.
It's simply about having a car and enjoying it with like minded people, surely?
