Default Re: Changing the BVWS

If I remember correctly the chairman has asked in "From The Chair" a couple of times for articles covering hi-fi, record players and other more recent vintage tech, but none have been forthcoming.

The difficulty is that to attract potential members interested in this sort of equipment you need articles in the bulletin, but to have articles in the bulletin you need to have members interested in this sort of equipment to write them.

We can't really say on the website etc that the society is open to those interested in vintage hi-fi, record players, personal stereos etc when there isn't anything about them in the bulletin.

Catch 22 situation.

It would have been good if the bulletin and membership had gradually evolved in that direction but unfortunately it hasn't. Likely reasons have already been discussed here.
