Feed-back facility
In the light of a certain story and also to help newer owners/members, I propose that the clubs' site has a feedback area. Where clients may leave feedback on their suppliers, whether it be services, such as insurance companys, parts suppliers, restorers and anything else. A site where private individuals and traders may communicate and all may see !
If it works for ebay, it can work here ! Also informative and who has something to fear and nothing to gain from this ?
The club encourages advertsing in the magazine, the for sale list, banners, traders' forums and for sale/wanted website sections. The club should also provide an open forum to reward good service and inform (through a two-way process) of poor service !
Perhaps too black and white but worth discussing I think !
