When can we have our club newsletter?

[wkwoo69]

Thanks mctnesh. What other stuff can we put in apart from gatherings, etc (guess we have Driven for that)? I suggest-

1. Basic DIY / Detailing - with pics
2. Feature on interesting BMW - classic, monster with TEST DRIVE REPORT
3. Vendor feature

Good enthusiasm guys and gal,

Go ahead and come up with a 'test' prototype and then we can pass it around during TT sessions and get a consensus.

HOW?

 

[Daredevil]

Well, we have a loyar, an editor and an IT expert. What a great team. I suggest you can rip some photos from some of our past events and put in some simple text. The 1st prototype shouldn't exceed 4 pages...and just pdf it.

The e-newsletter will be a great publicity tool to attract more members and sponsors to the club.

The committee is waiting anxiously for the 1st draft!!!!

For photos, go to 'member's meet up' forums.....

 

[wkwoo69]

Agreed.

Any volunteers for the interesting BMW feature? Ckassic (i.e. Csi, 6 Series, 2002, E21?) monster (turbo, tranplant, stroked, M)?

If none, then a short article on any interesting Bimmer suggested by the forummers.

Let start with something simple.. let talk about the club and what is it intention. I am sure a lot of people who want to join this club would want to know what is this club is all about? :yes:

Good to see this support and initiative that is taken by some to make the new letter a reality.. k:

 

[kevster30]

Here my two thai bahts,

1) Introduction of the club - mission, vision, ideals, etc.

2) Highlight some members - to illustrate diversity in age, profession, sexual preference, etc......

3) Highlight some past events - AWAM, Fraser's drive, Leather seat clinic, pin-the-tail-on-dimples........etc........

Just some ideas to get y'all started. Have fun!

This is a good one....just snap photos of some forumers and get them to give a one-liner comment.

 

[wkwoo69]

Cool. I presume they should not be committee members. Any volunteers / suggestions?

 

[BMW9700]

agree all good suggestions, could we also have a technical section?

 

[kevster30]

HELLO? ANYBODY HOME? SO WHO's DOING THIS?

Are y'all going through with this? If so, please formalize the team for this newsletter and the committee will appoint a member to spearhead this project. Thank You.

 

[wkwoo69]

I don't know if I qualify anymore though....I'm selling the car. I'm still of course very enthusiastic about it. I could get another in the future ...once bitten, always smitten. I can write and take borderline pictures, but I have zero DTP skills. Then again, I'm on leave until end April (yes! yes!), so please count me in if that's OK.

If anyone is interested in helping out in the newsletter, please PM me. Mctnesh and I have been speaking about the newsletter... I can help coordinate everything in the beginning stages since this is quite similar to what I do at work anyway..

 

[mctnesh]

Dimples already spoke to our President regarding our newsletter and i believe she will unveil the plans once she's back from her working trip.

Thanks for your support. You're CERTAINLY in!!

Sounds good. Once the newsletter has been finalised, we'll allocated a special section on the main page for it. YES, it's going into the 'hall of fame' of BMWCLUB Malaysia!!! Hope it can be a quarterly thing. Let's not put too much stress on the 'editorial board'...
