Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

We get roughly 25% of our membership. (About 100 attendees.) As secretary I keep an eye on the numbers because if we have any changes to the constitution it has to be approved by two-thirds of the people attending.

We have a guest speaker and they are the attraction, really, and we don't get to their bit until the 'business' has been concluded, so it encourages everyone to get through that part quickly ;-) We do get the occasional query/suggestion, but I can't recall a serious challenge of any sort in the ten years I've been involved.

We get about 60 people turn up out of a membership of 400. But out of that 400, I would say 80-100 are active members that you see on a regular basis or are active on the club facebook page. 60-80% of the "active" members isn't too bad, but we might get a bit stuck if we had to change something in the constitution.
