I hope it's been a change for the better... I left in utter frustration at the sort of people who were running my area. I was left with the distinct impression that in terms of management you get what you pay for... Incidentally, I went on to work with the BRCS for a couple of years, and ended up leaving because I had difficulty in seeing them as a charity. Both organisations had considerable scope for improvement. Which is, of course, to say nothing about the current membership of either... Hopefully the lessons were learned... Muppetman
