Local societies - the invisible man - 19th February 2007

I take it, Doc Pete, that you are referring to my description of a tendency to a white middle class middle age membership of local societies. I agree these are awkward terms and rather hard to define, and hence my use of inverted commas. I also began with my point which is that all societies are different, but noted a general tendency. I am not alone in noticing this, it is in fact something of a cliche, but I base my comment on membership of three local societies (still in two), connections with two others, and one county society - plus three CBA Regions which are a bit of both in many ways! I made no comment on politics as I cannot observe this. I myself was regarded as a young Turk when I joined at age of 40!

My post was not therefore intended as sterotyping but merely a simple, in fact crude, observation on the demographics of local society membership, admittedly unscientific and non-statistical.

My comment "so what?" made it clear, I trust, that I see it as no concern of mine or anyone else's who actually joins societies: the make-up I suggest is neither a good thing nor a bad thing, it just is. Anyone CAN join.

I agree with your penultimate paragraph, and also your fnal para, if, as I suspect, the word 'not' is inadvertently omitted between 'do' and 'see'.

We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
