I wonder if the IFA has ever thought about getting some extra bonus for its members? As we contribute to the heritage of the country how about discounted entry to EH and NT sites? Would offer current members more than a glossy mag and may even encourage new members.
Secondly, I am aware that the IFA recieves only a small number of votes from members during elections. Perhaps through BAJR the elections can be promoted, the candidates scrutinised and voting encouraged. Not voting means that you are happy with the status quo, so not voting and then complaining about who got in is rather pointless.
Not suggesting BAJR go all political but half the time I wouldn't have a clue about any of the candidates. By doing this we could look for candidates who represent the coal face and we CAN then change it from within.
