Haven't heard from any UK folks yet, but I'm sure our American ideas shouldn't
be too far off the mark.

Yes, it's hard to get people to write articles. In my club, we "require" that
each event's chairman submit (whether they write it or not) an article on the
event. We also have a couple of regulars who submit interesting articles.
You can find a lot on the internet, and it's usually not a problem to get
permission to print it. Just go surfing for clubs that do what yours does (or
what you want yours to do), a lot of clubs have their newsletters online, and
a lot of them have good reference material online that can be borrowed. For
instance, I printed the "Physics of Racing" series of articles last year and a
lot of people enjoyed it. (the rest of us were just confused)

Feel free to use anything that's on my site, but I'd rather you didn't link to
it. We're trying to keep traffic down to local folks who actually have
something to do with our local club as much as possible.
