RE: [doc] Mailing list and paid up members argument

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham@xxxx>]

Paul,

Thanks for your offer of help. I don't think you could help me much with
the current routine stuff, but on a more general note, Andy can always use a
story or two, plus if anyone wants to see their car on the front of
"DeLorean News" Andy could do with a nice photo, TAKEN IN POITRATE, that is
(camera side ways on) , so its fits the cover. Normal 35 mil photo's are
best, he will return them after.

On the question of help, its surprisingly difficult and time consuming to
find venues to hold "club gatherings". They need to be central-ish...and
next year do we want it in conjunction to Super car Sunday? I don't know.
Let me have your thoughts group. We will see how this upcoming event
goes...BTW I will shortly be needing your meal booking money for Saturday
13th July. Don't forget to book the Hotel and mention DeLorean owners club,
or else you'll be paying RETAIL!

Chris P

If that was a cast to catch some help on the club side I'm more than happy
to help and Produce, collect or distribute.
I do get quite a bit of spare time... as you may of guessed from my current
project.......
