Re: Stag Club Northeastern USA

[<MMoore8425@domain.elided>]

I live in California, and  try to keep track of the Stag owners I meet. I once
met with Ken Hudson, President of SOC, and asked if they would entertain us
forming a California (or US) Chapter of the SOC. (Not a separate club). The
advantage would be that SOC already have a newsletter which could be the
vehicle that binds the member ship together. Ken thought that could be
approved by the committee. I didn't follow up on it, because after a while it
seemed as though most Stag owners I knew belonged to SOC anyway. Many of us
take the time to send in letters to the SOC about US activities, and when I
sometimes get to the NEC show, I make it a point to drop inand tip my hat, as
do others.
I have seen a number of North America Stag organizations start up and fizzle
the last 10 years. The problem is to get a newsletter out and have events
consistently month after month. I can tell you that after 6 months, it is a
burdensome and thankless task. And considering US Stags are so far apart, it
is very tough to arrange any serious gatherings. My suggestion is to joint SOC
and write frequently about activities of SOC members in the US. And show up at
Triumph events.  The editor is pleased to print them.
