Q5Your other suggestions:
“Be careful about affiliation with the likes of AWA……. In New Zealand we made the mistake of joining the NZWWA at the beginning to give us credibility and they just took us over and used us as a way of increasing membership but not autonomy……. My advice is to stand-alone, build up collegiality, organise event on the smell of an oily rag and be open minded about what modellers you can have on board.” 1 Dec 2009
