No probs
Will do, I am waiting on quotes from several publishers at the moment based on a 72 page plus cover full colour magazine. Once we have that we will be
working out the sponsorship and purchase price. I have about 100 orders so far and 5 sponsors so it is looking pretty positive. All this and we have
only really been looking for prices on printing and talking to a few people.
Guess it just shows that there is a demand just waiting to be tapped into. Just a pity a publisher won't do them in a run on a hundred ..... Oh
well. |

Yep
Yes you do need money for it. But if you buy VW parts then it don't take long to save the mebership fee through discounts. Manx Club Members will
save at least $5 of the cover price of the magazine for example.
I don't think there is any such thing as a free club, not a registered on anyway.
Oh well you can come up north and play for free anytime you want. Out next 12 - 18 mths of trips will be up after the AGM and BBQ on 31 May 03. |

I don't expect things for free, just a pay rise. First year at anything sucks!
Give it a couple of years and the little things that make life living will come easier. Have to short list my events schedule and put some money into
the Dog at the moment. Magazines and club memberships can come when I'm not broken down.

Thats why
See thats why you join a club, so you meet heaps of cool people who give you free stuff and help you out just for fun. I am not saying people
won't help you if you ain't in a club, just that it makes them easier to find. |

heheh
OK,
To order simply send an email to magazine@manxclub.org, from there I will contact you with your copy number. Then it is simply a case of sending
the money ( $15 AUD for Manx Club Members ) to the club. or you can drop it off at the BBQ on the 31st.
Counting you guys there is only about 90 left already. |
