Running a car club is always going to be a thankless task, so don't take my whinging as personal criticism.
I have past form with MSCC, more than 10 years ago now, which left me bruised and not a little annoyed, but as another correspondent has noted, Internet forums provide much of what I need. Like Mr Jones, I have offered and provided more technical articles which have not been published, but which now are on Gomog, as posts on TalkMorgan and in scraps on Tim's Morgan Wiki, (although others have provided better stuff). I did enjoy the pub chats on a weekday evening with pie, pint and good (technical as well as social) company, as the older I get the less I remember of a distant apprenticeship.
