Have you tried contacting all the single make classic car & bike clubs?

There are many of them and at least one classic car magazine used to publish a directory of them.

I would have thought most would be happy to make an annual donation.

Just a thought

I cant agree more! much as I said in numerous posts... but people are happier debating drinking hours

However I think paul needs someone to volunter to do all this.
A fundraising officer also should get some publicity materials moving.

I will warn you that some of the older members of the classic car scene are very happy driving at 30mph everywhere and think that everyone who got a licence after them should be banned . I have had some heated debates with members of the TR register (and they were sports cars!)

PS

Yes. I agree, it's an excellent idea.

I have recently acquired some pages from a classic car magazine with addresses for about 100 clubs.

I apologise for not updating the group on the development, but it's been absolutely bonkers here the last two weeks.

I would dearly love to appoint a fund raising officer, but have had no concrete offers.

Are you familiar with this website which has active links to all UK car clubs (single marque and others).

http://www.ukmotorsport.com/uk_car_clubs.html

How about offering a club membership (say £100 or so) which then entitles members to a discount on their individual memberships.

That way the club organisers can justify the expenditure because the members are getting something out of it.

Say 20 - 50 clubs with 50 - 100 members each joining would begin to look interesting I would think.

Good thinking. Thanks. I wish I had a fundraising officer to do the leg work.

The ABD has tried this in the past with very little success.

Many people who are interested in cars seem surprisingly uninterested in wider issues relating to road safety and transport policy.

That's absolutely true - but the world is coming to us. It'll get easier to get a good result every day that goes by.
