If you paid £35 but expect £35 of goods back how can the club possible survive ?
How could wages be paid , the mag be produced and sent to you , your tax disc and stickers be paid for
Registrars forms / envelopes / stamps be paid for etc etc
Every club charges a subscription for overheads to run the club its that simple realy
fair comment, spot on! but to be part of the RSOC web forum its free and anyone can join so, like here, your going to get the odd waster. everyone and anyone is part of the dedicated RS group then.
Passionford seems to be more popular for info etc
If the RSOC forum was for members only maybe then would it be worth while because you would be discussing issues with people who mostly have a clue.
I can only imagine most of these RSOC meets must be down south. Great, but i can't really invove myself unfortunately.
My most local group is westofscotland, which is a good distance away, has a decent crowd and back to my point has no subscription fee.
I'm not going to see any real advantage from joining the RSOC then, prob should have thought about that right enough but i guess it is only £35 after all
