I had tried to post again on here but it seems to have disappeared or I did something wrong, essentially however much the former members of the AAIS might lose their identity, at least they got to vote on it, which is more than the IfA members did.
On the point most recently raised, it's a bit of a vicious circle. I for one would love to be more involved in things like the IfA council/committee/whatever and I'm sure many other people would too, but the nature of the work means that they have neither the time nor the funding to do so, particularly if, like me, you live a considerable distance from Reading. I do what I can in other ways but it would be good to be able to do more, unfortunately everything else gets in the way.
