I find the mag a ‘one cup read’, ie I’ve read all the stuff that interests me in the time it takes to have one cup of coffee. No interest in reading about who’s had dinner with who and where, not much interest in reading about folk who have driven places to see things either. I’ll flick through to look for anything practical and then glance through the classifieds, then off to the recycling unfortunately.
Must be a huge waste of resources and energy at a time when we are supposed to be conserving both! A problem for a lot of clubs/organisations I imagine. I do have to agree ref a one cup read, I do exactly the same!. For me it reads too much like a Saga publication... and I am no spring chicken.. I was asked to put together a semi tech article last year relating to our 3.7 Roadster and then covering the Plus Six, but to be honest it was coming out at at least 7 pages of A4 without photos and there were so many Plus Six issues... even though it was all 100% true. I could imagine the flack I would have recieved if it had been published ( I doubt it would have ) .. so I chickened out...still have 80% of it here in draft lurking on the computer.. After a year of ownership and many many repairs we still have the Plus Six and I hope its now going to work as it should have.

I think that it's one of those things that need to be there. I'm not sure if the current form is the right one, but it would be missed if it stopped....🙃
I flick through it when it arrives then might have a look later in the month.
Perhaps it's the case that everything that can be done in a Morgan has already been done, there's nothing new left to write about....🤷🏻♂️

For what it is worth, the Porsche Club magazine is better produced, more glossy, but the content structure is no different to the Morgan Club magazine. I do wonder it the traditional club structure and publication has passed its sell by date, but I can't think how to replace/improve on it!!

Exactly Peter. I guess forums like this have taken away a lot of the technical and how to articles

For those that will be remaining in the club next year, you are going to get a series of articles on the rebuild of my 1968 Plus 4 4 seater in Miscellany!
Spent last few evenings going through the large amount of photo's I took during the rebuild to give me a bit of structure!
Arwyn Being new to Morgan and having an elderly model these sort of articles I would appreciate. I agree that articles about Centre visits are of little interest but then other people might disgree. Perhaps I should write an article about my experiences with mine, but again, I am not sure that many would be interested.

Membership or subscription to said magazine also gives members the benefit of discounts and public liability insurance.
If voices and ideas are not heard (or responded too) then members will walk and choose an alternative.

Hmm, that's a challenge. I'll see what I can come up with although I am no journalist.
