<< A quick note on this part, I was told the other day that if the BoD
forced a pay for play rule many people would no longer attend. These are the
people who do not pay to play! they are not members now,  where would the
loss be? The lackof them paying attendence at events would be missed to a
degree but allot fo those folks don't even pay to attend events.  what would
be the loss? A large number of people who are not members, do not pay for
membership are not going to be there to not pay membership?
