Gauge O Guild Kettering Show 2018

[two tone green]

I personally would have no problem rejoining.  However,

 

1) The benefits of membership as they stand currently to me personally are minimal, most of my needs can be met through other sources such as RMWeb and Facebook.  The one lacking thing are the small traders who do not advertise outside of the Gazette and do not have a web presence of any kind enabling me to find them.  

2) The Reading show, which is a non-Guild event, is convenient to me geographically, other Guild show locations are not.  Therefore the penalty of paying a non-reduced entry fee is much less than the cost of membership.

3) Area groups are mostly irrelevant to me as my current employment has a shift pattern which means I'd only be likely to make it once every 3 weeks - assuming they meet weekly; otherwise it may only be once every couple of months; the same reason I haven't joined a local general model club.

4) I'm probably blackballed anyway so it's all cosmetic.

 

Oh dear.
