[UK-CONTEST] Fwd: Re: RSGB Contests 2012

[g3ory at lineone.net]

Andy,

Further to my last msg, the RSGB site INFO page refers to 
National Affiliated Societies but does not explain that this means 
Societies who have a nationwide recruitment and not a list of all the 
affiliated societies in the Nation.

All the locally recruited 
Societies are listed under their relevant Region - or I guess this is 
the idea. Not only is your Club not listed but mine isn't either (under 
the relevant region or in my case under the adjoining regions also). 
Perhaps the Regional Managers are supposed to maintain a list of 
affiliated societies in their Region and that is then posted. A far 
better system would be to post the names of the Societies who have paid 
their subs to the RSGB in one big list. That would seem to be a way of 
avoiding the error prone system currently in use, however well 
intentioned that might have been in the first place.

73 Bob
