I don't mind paying for it (although it would be nice if it was done properly and not in the usual half-arsed manner) - I invest a lot of time and money in orienteering and another £10 is neither here nor there - but for a lot of the people we've attracted into orienteering locally who might do 4 - 6 level D events a year paying £22 (BO + SOA) for membership is not good value for money. Maybe the Board has given up on building the membership and increasing particiaption?
That's because the only membership grade nowadays is national. Once upon a time, there was local membership. If BO is to hike the membership fee, then I suspect more clubs will want to make club-only membership available again, (at least, officially, as I suspect there's been a bit on the quiet all the time).
