Interesting.  I've always considered email lists to be the next best 
thing to having an active local club and to be more of a club than any 
traditional national club can be.  Lists, by definition are more 
interactive and immediately relevant than any national club I have yet 
to see.

I think that unless they evolve to become more in the way of information 
  sources and facilitators of communications flow that national clubs 
will find themselves increasingly irrelevant.

It is why I concluded that VTR's restriction of information is a step 
away from relevancy and towards obsolescence.

I personally think the future of national clubs is to go completely 
online with local affiliate clubs hosting national club events and being 
the physical presence of a national club.


The future is to reach out to as many people as possible and enable them 
to pursue their passions, hobbies and interests.

Anyway just some hopefully constructive thoughts.
