It's that time of year again when the raffle tickets fall out of MAG Network with a request for you all to sell a few books!

Well, 2000 is no different. You will find a number of raffle tickets included with this edition, together with the usual bumph; rally posters, dealer posters, leaflets, surveys, requests for information, feedback and the usual, maybe, boring stuff you regularly receive. These are not included for fun - get out there and sell them, display them, fill them in, post them up, file them or return them to us at MAG Central Office, preferably with great wads of cash - although cheques will do nicely. Let's show them what we can achieve as the UK's number one motorcyclists organisation.

However, MAG is not just a great black hole swallowing all your free time or spare cash. As the UK's largest motorcycling information exchange we can put to beneficial use our combined knowledge by introducing good practice and ideas to forward your MAG group, region or affiliated club. Just look at Neil's Strategy 2000, or Trevor's plan to train stand volunteers. These ideas can be used, not only to develop your group, or club, but ultimately to forward UK motorcycling!

Great journeys start with one small step. Selling a raffle ticket may be just that step!
