We need:

Fresh mods to a certain extent
To be more welcoming
Flyers to put under wipers etc
Club reps for shows who will be in club shirts, not pissed & chatting to people
Advertising
Have to agree with this. I wouldnt say it is clickiness as local members are always going to know each other better than those further afield. I think we probably do just need to check whether current mods wish to continue. I think we are welcoming. It would be good to have some flyers but distributing them at shows is fairly pointless as enthusiasts there will already know of all the clubs etc and are likely to be a member of their own club if they arent part of ours. Perhaps a return of the sticking flyers on cars you see out and about might be good.
Advertising would be good but im not sure we need to pay for it. Its a genuine loss leader as this is a free forum. I think if we got some articles in car magasines starting with PFC that would be a good start. Having more events with writeups and images would be the way forwards.
Club reps for shows? Mmmm its a big ask for people to be on stand for an hour. I have been stand rep for the dinghy show for 2 years now and its difficult to bring people in there who are simply browsing or not interested. At car shows people have their cars and its a small percentage who turn up who arent on the scene.
I think we need to find a model to follow. I think the clio sport guys do really well not just because of their large following but because of what they actually do. They have clio sport saturday which is an annual meet. I think they have some track time as well. I think just having more meets which are properly organised and having some dedicated 306oc track time would be a fantastic start.
