Are you thinking of organizing a car club? Or perhaps reorganizing one? Car clubs are a good method for enthusiasts of a certain make or sort of car to share their knowledge. Most car clubs are based on ownership of a marque of car or even ownership of a particular model, but it could also be a club for owners of cars of a particular age. Therefore, the first thing to do while setting up or reorganizing a car club is to ascertain who the club is for. The more strict you make the club, the less members you are likely to get, which could be a difficulty unless you live in a large city. It is a great deal of effort to establish a good set of rules and a mission statement, so it is best if you can find some help, possibly by getting a couple of others to form a small committee. Perhaps the easiest method of finding a few more enthusiasts would be to either put an advert in the paper or go down to the showroom of the marque you are interested in and talk to the sales people. The committee can decide on how what the club will focus on: for instance sports cars, Mercedes, pre-1945 or whatever. Then decide on how frequently the club will get together: monthly or quarterly or whatever and who is entitled to join: owners of these cars exclusively or enthusiastic non-owners too. Other items to decide would be whether there is a joining fee and / or annual membership fee; whether there will be a magazine or newsletter or / and a website. What sort of activities and dos will the club hold? Races? Rallies? An annual dinner-dance? A bring and buy sale of spare parts and accessories is usually a well-liked event. Members can bring along superfluous parts and accessories related to the car that the club is targeted on. Where will you hold your meetings? In a church hall or in a spare room in a pub? A website is a good method of communicating with club members, but a blog is even better for allowing members to interact with each other. Best of all would be a website which just one person is permitted to update and a blog on the same domain name. Every club member can be given a user name and password to the blog and then members can sign in and chat to each other in real time. This is not difficult to set up. All you have to do is rent hosting space (less than $100 per annum) and buy a domain name (less than $10). Wordpress, a free blogging program, is usually available with the hosting. Then you will have to either pay a designer to make a web site for you or get someone to do it for you. Lots of people under the age of 30 can design and set up a straightforward but effective website. The website will be an vital part of your recruitment drive and generally reduce your marketing costs as well.
