yeah I think you are right. the guys in the WA club are a great bunch of fella's its just that all the decisions are made by the older members who are also on the committee, and as soon as a new member Like me (3 years) comes along with some different ideas, they just seem to squash them. Like I tried to talk to the web master about getting a better site. I got the impression he was offended but he also just didnt see any need to change or improve anything. I really think they look at their bank balance every month and decide they cant afford it. But they also have just rejected in whole an opportunity to raise a bucket load of revenue which would have funded a colour mag and possibly other things as well. I actually got good sponsorship support form a number of different companies.

Personally, i think shaking the tree will just make a mess on the ground. which is why the majority of cobra builders here dont go anywhere near the club. Even the local kit manufacturers here will tell you how much they are not impressed with the club and dont bother that much either. I have only been more activey involved with them recently and already my experience with them is enough to make me give up on them.
I think the club oscillates around 60 members but you'd be lucky to see about 20 at the club meetings.
