I would vote to join, despite some negative points about the club, and the political bitching (a large portion of the North and Scotland opted not to renew a while ago because of aforesaid issues) i still think the plus points, as well documented by Jools out weigh the negatives for being a member.
I have remained a member whilst many of my good friends have not. I don't think this is anything to do with DuN either.
I've asked some of the people concerned and it was DSC issues, not DuN that drove them away.
Having said all that i will renew again next year, IMHO there are still a lot of good points about the club.
Final comment, personally i'm devastated that Pronto is not deemed worthwhile, must be my writing from time to time
(FFS that last comment is tongue in cheek
)
