cambelts

Club Products - what should they be?

I am the new "enthusiastic" (thank you, Steve) products secretary. I see products as important for a host of reasons: members & owners want to show their loyalty, commitment and enthusiasm for Morinis by buying, clothing & badges, the club provides a service by offering parts which...
