Hi Andy,
First, congrats on the magazine! It's very professionally done now!

Regarding digital files - I think it would "do the job" and be quite 
ok just to scan the earliest issues on a flatbed A4 scanner, and then 
make them into Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf format) available on the Club 
Website. Also, the area on the website could be password-protected so 
that only club members would have access to them. Take a look at 
www.delorean.nl The Dutch DeLorean people have the option to get the 
club magazine from the club website. I'm not suggesting an end to the 
paper-version, only a supplement to the paper-version! :)

Best wishes
