I would suggest you contact the national EDGE&TA, (Early Day gas Engine and tractor Assn.) as they may have some ideas how to administer a club and they offer cheap liability insurance. Another place for admin. ideas is the national IH Collectors. (IHC Club). They demand that you set specific rules and by-laws to become a member of the national. I believe they provide insurance, too. And all the other things people have suggested. Be sure you involve the ladies!! One club I knew had a place at their annual show where the ladies could sew, knit, spin, weave and show off their talents. My wife and her friends come to our annual show and demonstrate their spinning wheels. They catch a lot of interest. When you do an annual show, be sure you provide entertainment for small children. We have a kiddie barrel train and a small kiddie pedal powered carousel. One year we even provided a sandbox with some toys for kids to play in. If you have something for little kids to do, they won't be nagging at their parent to go home. At some of our monthly meetings, see if someone can give a demo on how to do something. A friend gave a demo on how to take a carburetor apart. I once gave a demo on using Loc-tite and Heli-coils. But most of all make it FUN!!!! We have our monthly meetings at the local REA building. It's free and no one has to get their house/place ready for company. Once a year we have a potluck and once a year an ice cream social. The two best attended meetings!!! Just a few things we do. Good luck!!!
