It's also worth noting that the average age at most of these clubs is still in the 60's.

Email and the internet isn't the "big thing" to them as it is to guys who don't recall a time before the web. You'll usually get much more response from most clubs by using the "old fashion" tech they are used to. It's called the "telephone" perhapse you've heard of it?
