Ruairidh asked the same question on FB earlier to,which I responded this.
I’m very nearly 70. My own requirements are, in order,
Promoting driving the cars,
Friendly, sociable, welcoming members,
Good technical support and advice,
Club runs out,
Weekends and weeks away, but not too far,
Social gatherings.
Good communication from the club to the membership.
As many of our members are long retired, mid week outings will be convenient, whereas those who are still in harness will feel a little left out.
I appreciate that other members enjoy displaying their cars at shows (I don’t)
Also other members may prefer camping (I hate!) to hotels and longer distance touring (I don’t have the stamina these days).
I agree that much more young blood is needed to secure the future of our clubs.
—————
Further to that FB post , because of geographical distance to HA7C (I am editor) and BA7C (too far) some of my friends with other classics meet once a week with our cars for a lunch. It gives a discipline to exercise the cars.
