Can one of the members tell me which was the latest issue of the magazine that you received? I haven't gotten one since the Fall 2016 issue, and for that I had to contact Darren. Thanks!

Rick ,
According to VMBC Facebook page , the Spring 2017 edition was mailed around April 12th .
One member posted on April 28th that he had rec'd. his copy .
Pete . :)

If the last issue you received was Fall 2016, then you are missing the two issues:
Winter 2017 and now Spring 2017.
Although I had no problem with the most recent two issues, I have had to repeatedly contact the secretary over the last couple years regarding magazine issues that never arrive. I seem to be at the end of the line and usually get the magazine much later (sometimes up to three or four weeks later) than most members but occasionally it never shows up. It Has also happend with my membership card. It's not like I'm in the middle of nowhere either...I live in a major city with a metropolitan area population of more than 7 million people! I've asked them to double check my information and they always tell me it matches what I've told them, so I don't know what is going on.

DoodleBugger, the same always happens with me. I almost never get a magazine without contacting Darren. Kaitlyn verified my info, and still nothing. I emailed Darren yesterday and he told me to call Kaitlyn, so I will this morning.
I also live in a populated area, we have about 23 million living in the NY metro area.

I unexpectedly received my 20 year continuous membership plaque in the mail today along with a nice letter from the VMBC President, Darren. Seems to have made it through the mail with no issues. I knew that I had been a member for quite a while, but honestly kind of forgot that it has actually been that long and that the club did plaques to mark the occasion. I have had my 10 year plaque on the shelf with some of my other scooter stuff for a while, but didn't realize it had been there for 10 years!
Hopefully the next magazine arrives just as easily, as the club clearly has my name and address correct in their records.

Congratulations ... 20 years is a pretty good run . :)
Funny you didn't notice 10 years of dust on the first plaque . LOL

I already started on next years project, but it is top secret! Let me know what you find out about the GC electric start, as this could influence the direction I take.
-
Doing lots of research on GCs. I know what you are building cuz great minds think alike! Lol Really ...I do have a good guess but will keep to myself.

Just got the summer magazine in the mail today. It told me all about the great things on tap for the meet in Portland. Too bad the meet was a month ago! Nobody can seem to figure out why my magazine either doesn't show up at all or shows up long after everyone else has received their copy - club says it's not them and they have my info correct. Post office blames the sender, of course, and says it's not their fault and that I need to take it up with the sender. ???
I'm happy to receive the magazine and still enjoy looking through it but it's a bit annoying to have these delivery issues.
-
I got mine last week. Hopefully they can get their act together, and get a working website up and running.
-
I got mine last week also. Sounds like everyone's was late. I'm with RickS, bring back the web site. I don't do Facebook

Anyone have the dates for the 2018 meet?
The woman at the Holiday Inn told me that it was the following week, July 27-29. They were taking pre-registration on paper for aprox. 20 people. Each person could reserve 2 rooms. I missed out on that by Sunday morning checkout. I have since booked July 23-29.
Hope those dates hold.

I booked 7/24-29. It would be nice to get the magazine a few weeks before the meet to see the schedule.

Thanks Pete! Looks like my reservations are good.

The website seems to be back up. I've been able to access it over the last few days. It is in very, very serious need of editing and updating and the forum there is still essentially dead, but at least they have something out there. Evidently there are 800+ members on the club's Facebook site. I still don't understand why the club can't or won't get its internet presence together but my hope at this point is that they are working on it and that they try to redirect those 800+ people over to a solid club website (hopefully with a GOOD forum function). I am not a fan of using Facebook as a stand-in for a good club website, but that seems to be about what it's come to. Hopefully it doesn't continue that way forever.
