Just received the February issue of BMW.SG February Newsletter via email.I must say its a good effort by their club to send out monthly newsletter to promote their activites to all their members.By doing this, both active and non-active members will get summarise of events held / to be held and detailed coverage of each one of it. Certainly will benefit the club's image on the long run. B)
When can we have our club newsletter?

It definately on the pipeline, as this website is still new and the committee is gearing towards the ROS.
thanks for the suggestion.

A club newsletter is a brilliant idea. But it will only work if there are commited individuals to see it through production. The committee has discussed this idea before and the only thing holding us back is the lack of proper manpower.
If there are volunteers to form a sub-commitee for newsletter publication, LET'S GO FOR IT!
so..............HOW?...............Talk is cheap................

ROS apllication normally takes years to get approval. Firstly, PDRM needs to vet through the Pro-tem commitee personal data and then to KDN. Secondly this a NGO organisation it is not so simple, believe me, unless you know people of influence to get you through. It took my commitee almost one year to get ROS approval, and this is with a prominent Tan Sri which is our patron or commitee member. Before you even think of distributing newsletter you need ROS and then licence for newsletter. I am not sure of the current Cyberlaw on newsletter issued by NGO's over the Internet. Guys, pls seek Professional advice, NGO activities is a very delicate issue in Malaysia especially when it involve membership by and large. it gets even complicated if subscription is required and proof of funds is not from anywhere overrseas especially if you have foreign links.

Actually, you can produce the nwesletter now provided it is "FOR MEMBERS ONLY"., after having notified KDN of the intent to do so.
Why I know this?
Been producing these college newsletter wayyyyyy back in 1974.... for MRSM Kota Baharu - Mahathir was Education Minister then sending his Mokhzani to 1st year.
So long as legal boundary are observed and sensitivities are guarded.. then the internal circulation "FOR MEMBERS ONLY" will have no issue.
But, sorry lah.. I am an old man now.. tak ade tenaga lagi nak buat kerje kerje berat cam tu lagi..
But that has been my experience.
Oso.. from my experience, for "safe" publication like this, the bureaucracy to produce is not the problems. The problems are: monies, monies, monies, manpower, articles, logistics, distribution....
Then cums the consistence.. 1st edition : gagah; 2nd issue: lack lustre; 3rd issue : malap........... 4th issue.. mampus.

... Thanks for all the kind words.
A bit of nostalgia here....
Last time during our student days there is no DTP, no Photoshoppe, only typewritter and what is now a Dinosaur "Clyclostyle" - that thing that is slightly better than Guttenberg machine.
Since, there is no computers, no internet... so every one is waithing for tete-a-tete, gossips, articles and news.
But, now the information is available at a click of a mouse. So, there must be a differenciation between a newsletter and the "forum" or "bulletin boards". Otherwise, by the time the nwesletter leaves the computer to the printer, the information is already obsolete, even before the newsletter left the printer.
So, now a suggesttion:
There are some experts here Mr Lee - the photoshoppe Sexpert, Lil Dimples - full of vibrating energy; and with some expert DTP guys, pproduce a newsletter within the forum...
Then whoever wants to print, can print out via own printer.. ala Acrobat!
:yes!:

sounds like a good start to me... :yes: :yes: :yes:
Actually the online version of a newsletter ain't that complicated, no issues of $$ here. All effort goes to the compilation of the news/stories to be presented in the newsletter.
This is what i received from BMW SG :-

Well, that is a start ... I guess we could put something ad-hoc together. For starters, I suppose I can write a feature on the grand TT .. and if someone can supply the pics .. and also throw in some other events ... maybe something on the official HH/TTs and events (and KLANG TT! .. sorry! couldn't help it!) .. we can get something up to present to the powers-that-be as a proposal ...
What say you?
