Index to the Wheelmen Magazine
Quote from 2020 Commander on December 29, 2020, 12:57 pmDavid Gray has just completed an extensive review of the past 50 years of the Wheelmen Magazine 1970 to 2020. He has created a 135 page reference Index for anyone wanting to do research or simply locate a subject. This will be a great resource for members.
The Index is in PDF form on the website under "Reference Material, PDF Attachments".
Many thanks to David Gray for creating this valuable reference.
Copies of back issues can be obtained through our Publications Chairman, Brad Drexler.

Quote from Russell Mamone on December 30, 2020, 10:08 amThis is really great news that Dave has produced another updated index to the Wheelmen magazine. The 50 years of magazines are a gold mine of information on everything of interest to our hobby. I suggest that the Index be reproduced and a copy provided to all members with the May 2021 issue of the magazine.
Secondly, I suggest that an Order Form be created and included with the Index so that members can order back issues of the magazine. I have attached 2 pages from the order form of the Veteran Cycle Club, our British cousins' publications of their News and Views (newsletter) and The Boneshaker (magazine) and a vast group of other publications. I would urge that prices be set out for each item. All of our publications can be shipped by the USPS using Media Mail, which is inexpensive to ship. Listing methods of payment is very helpful so that an order can be complete and be sent out as soon as possible. Other members may have suggestions to expedite this process. Thanks to Brad for posting the Index and moving ahead with distribution of magazine.

I think Dave's index we'll be a great help with magazine sales. All requests I get for magazines have come via email. I write an invoice, send a copy with a total and ask for a check in payment. For members I'll mail out immediately. Non members I wait for the check. I looked at the files you posted and liked the idea of charging extra for non members. There should be that extra benefit for being a member.

Quote from Russell Mamone on January 3, 2021, 6:18 pmAmong the great resources of our club, in addition to the Magazine and Newsletter, are publications like the Roster of Members and the Club Handbook. I have suggested that the Index produced by Dave Gray for the 50 years of the Magazine be printed and a copy supplied to each member in the Spring of 2021. This would not only be a great asset to present members, but be a great research tool for future members and those who are interested but not members of the club. Copies of Index could be made available for sale for a modest sum, of $5 or so. A printed document is so much more useful than internet reading. Recently, the ICHC published an index of its proceedings and the publication of that index is very valuable in locating subjects of interest to our hobby.
