I like it dood, from the first post onward.

Problem here is... we're a pretend club for the most part. There are a few guys in each city that actually get together and enjoy the spirit of our club... but how often does it act like a club? I've been privy, while being associated with Steeda.ca, to deal with clubs like the GTAMC, LAMC etc... that are the real deal. The main reason they are so successful is because of the the quality of members and organizers (and close geography). No offence, but trying to do something for the good of the group here is like hearding cats.

Don't get me wrong, I have much respect for and enjoy the company of 90% of the people here but that doesn't mean we're a well functioning club representing.

So here is my two cents... i would love to give some monetary support for raffles, charity, meets, events, or whatever... if I thought it would be appreciated. I just don't think it would be... sad huh. Steeda.ca was providing cash when required as sponsorship and they got turfed like yesterday's trash. (not intended to spark an argument or point fingers, just a perfect example like or not)

There were some great replies here and some evident issues with the how's but shiat... if it was easy... you know the rest. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the club has no common objective or direction, and I'll be the first in line to help if it ever wants to grow up. Regardless, I wish more people had visions for this club and shared them.

Superb thoughts Adam, and props for spitting it out and defending.
