Seriously, can someone tell me what these groups/organisations thinking with their membership fee's ? £36 for one and £25 for the other.
Looking at Crags frontpage under 'latest news' is an article from 2010 Glass's page is no better.
Perhaps if they took the blinkers off and set the membership fee's a little more sensibly they would have a lot more members, because from what I can see members are thin on the ground to say the least.
Most of the information they have is replicated elsewhere on the internet for free, so what is the motivation for joining ? If it's to fund repair projects surely this would be better acieved through fundraising events. At least if the membership was free there would be more people to rope in to the activity/repair days.
I have in the past helped on a repair day and would be happy to do the same again, but i'm screwed if I'm going to pay for the privilege.
It's no wonder we are losing lanes if these are the bodies that represent us .
Rant over.
