Speaking for myself, a big problem is geography. I belong to AH Club of
America. Heck will freeze over before they have any events close enough
for me to participate. I have to wonder if my $40/year is a good use of
money, when all I get out of it is a thin, albeit slick, magazine that
describes all the events far, far away.
