or flown with an airline or eaten at a restaurant because of just one bad review. What's the difference in James not wanting to promote the club because of one bad incident? It only takes one incident to put people off. The issue the club seems to have is a compounded one where one member has a bad day, then another member does, then another and so on until your 'one member, one incident' has turned into
a group of issues and what appears to be a narrow minded bunch of angry old men.

The club reminds me of a golf club I was a member of for quite some time. The board decided that they would not change the regulations regarding the wearing of long socks with shorts. No matter how often the membership tried to convince them they kept refusing because it had been like that for ever and should stay like that. Needless to say they didn't keep up with what newer younger members wanted and how times were progressing, preferring to keep the tried and true traditional ways. Year after year membership plumetted all the while the board would sit around asking all and sundry how they could increase their membership. Just one little thing can make a very big difference.

IMO, forget the 'club' website, forget promoting 'the club', use the MOGH money and promote the hobby! And every aspect of it. Singles, sets, whatever. Don't isolate that which you don't understand or aren't interested in. Without the hobby there is no club and the hobby is what's dying and dragging everything else down with it.
