I suspect a Hannan response very shortly. Watch out for the spin.
Edited to add;
Kris,do you still have the AGM minutes from Murray Bridge? Do you know how many members AOPA had then?
The membership base has been declining ever since and I would wager the membership now is around half that and probably logarithmatically proportional to the general decline in GA.
The magazine, as another way of looking at the problem, was worth selling as the official organ when the distribution was 4,000, not worth anything now I suspect.
The magazine has been on the news stands for some time now and if it had been a glowing success, you and the rest of the World would have heard about it. No..just silence. What does that tell you?
I suspect that the distribution is also halved by virtue of not being a monthly.
I suspect too many doors in Canberra are closed to certain Directors so the representative nature of the organisation is possibly ineffective.
The logical suggestion would be amalgamation with a "compulsory" organisation with a good membership base, but again I fear who would want to inherit the Board, half full of clowns running the show now.(note I said half).
My observations only, so one should wait until the membership numbers for YE 2007 come out with the financial report which notes the membership subscriptions and can be reasonably interpreted give or take the pre paid's etc.
