A Car Club Gathering

Those of you who have been following this blog for the past 5+ years know that at one time we had a free virtual car club. It had a decent following, but as it was 100% on-line it ultimately became a magnet for spammers.

Fortunately, technology has advanced and we now have more options to stop spam. We are also planning to go beyond the on-line realm this time. Yes, this will be a full car club with zero dollars due fees.

So how is it going to work? The plan is to use advertising from our website and the club newsletter to help fund the operating costs. Also, while it will cost nothing to join the club some events will have a fee to offset costs that would incur, but you only pay for things that you attend (and some things would still be free of charge).

What do we need to get the ball rolling?

1. You

The most important part of any club is the people and we want ever car enthusiast to feel welcome. While most people that join the club will likely own at least one performance or classic cars, we welcome every gearhead. Even though it will be called The Sports Car Guys Club (TSCGC), both male and female car enthusiasts are welcome to join.

2. Regional Board Members

To make the club successful we need local boards that will help arrange gatherings and events. As a board member you will also be an evangelist to spread the news of the club to other car guys. As such you will be an important cog in our machine.

Ideally each region will have one of each of the following board member positions:

President Vice President Secretary Treasure

Initially these volunteer positions will be appointed to members desiring them, but in the future elections will be held.

3. Share Events

We have put together a club site where members will be able to share local events. If you know of an upcoming car event then we would love to have it posted on the member site (remember membership is free, so if you aren’t one, just signup).

4. Enthusiast Writers

To keep folks up to date on what is happening we’ll need writers to share news on events and their takes on various cars.

Since this will be a free car club we will look at inexpensive and effective ways to handle the club’s affairs. This will include using digital methods to spread news whenever possible which will result in decreased printing costs. If enough members would like things such as the club newsletter in printed form, then we will offer it as a subscription service.
