I agree with both Phil Peters and Ken Koncelik that a hard copy magazine not necessarily has to go down in favor of the electronic version. Our Dutch DeLorean Club only has some 80 members who receive our magazine called Dashboard as part of the membership they pay for. Even in such a small community we have some members that do not have a computer, A quarterly magazine like ours is their only contact with club and activities. And yes, it's hard to get paid advertisements. We however are fortunate to have a.o. the Dutch AAA contributing by advertising in our magazine. Members write articles for free, just like your countrymen do, no fee promised or given. Sometimes, if of interest our articles are translated into English so our foreign sister clubs can benefit of the information. I guess it's the spirit of being part of something special that keep both clubs and magazines alive. In my opinion this is also applicable to contacts and exchanges between clubs. In Europe that's unfortunately a bit more difficult than in the US, regarding the various languages spoken on this continent, but we manage.
