Bluegrass Club (AHCA) stopped allowing local members because of concerns that
our insurance coverage would not cover them if they lead club activities.
Membership is open to anyone with an interest.
I publish a monthly newsletter in pdf format and run a email list similar to
this one with 140 members. I will send a newsletter to just about anyone and
you can join the email list if you are local and have an interest. I always
encourage the prospective future owner to get involved with the club before
they buy a car. The best deals are usually word of mouth and it pays to learn
about the cars before you buy.
I have found that allowing former owners to stay in touch or prospective
members to learn about the club before they join has never caused us any
problems. It is about the people, the cars just bring us together.
In summary you can't be a associate member because of club rules but I will
give privileges (non-voting) to just about anyone with an interest and hope
they join us in the future. Once they get exposed to the club and learn about
the AHCA they normally do.
Healey owners tend to be a stabile membership and rejoin every year. In our
local British Sports Car Club the membership changed so much we had to follow
a strict pay your dues or no email/newsletter.
