Tom,
 
Do you really think that $8.00 a year is the reason that people drop out
of NSRCA? IMHO it's hard to concieve that the cost of an OS "F" plug
would chase someone away. Could it be other factors?? Possibly, two
years ago no "K-Factor" at all for 6 months?? Possibly, the current
"K-Factor" dilemma?? Possibly, backroom politicking which led to
unpopular schedules?? Ad nausium............................ Wadda ya
thunk??
 
I think it gets down to "What have you done for me lately"!!!!! That's
just my opinion, and hell, I'm probably wrong.

At the Annual NSRCA meeting this last summer, I brought up the fact that
every time the dues go up, our membership goes down. I wanted the
officers to get on a budget program where we could go back to lower
dues. District 4 had a large number of old, non-active members that kept
their subscriptions going while it was at a reasonable price, but when
the dues hit $35, I had at least 20 drop out in my district. I can name
every one of them. Our contest attendance continued to improve, but when
the dues hit $38, I witnessed a mutiny in District 4 as well as among
another NSRCA volunteer group. Actual contest flyers has pretty much
stayed the same, or improved over the last 5 to 6 years, and best of
all, the number of contests has gone up! So Pattern is in good health,
it's just the NSRCA that is down.
