i wrote to the snfc in the nineties asking foe the national to get into the clubs and get guys to join even as far as adverts on the various local radio stations as at that time june paton who was a fantastic secretary was in the process of putting the national finances on a level never seen before i badgered any one who wasnt a member to join and managed to get a few but as usual didnt even get a reply from the national dont know if it would have worked but just look at th publicity the rspb do nd the money involved with them
