Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to pick your collective brains if I may.
Our Rover 800 internet group has really reached the point where it needs to morph into a full owners club. We had a stand at the NEC this year, for example, which was very well received and it would be useful to be able to negotiate club discounts with suppiers, insurance companies etc. The stand a the NEC also costs a fortune to service and a club should be able to raise funds through merchandise sales, membership fees, magazine advertising and so on.
So my question is: does anyone have any experience with setting up and running an owners. club? Tips, pitfalls, procedures, constitutions, finances etc - all advice gatefully and graciously received. Legal and financial issues worry me more than anything else, I suppose.
Thanks
