Mike,
My statement on this site has been misunderstood. I did not claim to have enrolled 490 members. I was repeating what Guido had said on the final page of the Special Edition - Impotant Notice. Please read that notice.
When I was appointed to the committee in Sept 2005 the last membership number to have been issued was No.325 and when I resigned, the last number issued was No.602.
Owing to last posts and non renewals there are approx. 460 members at the present time. i trust that will clarify the misunderstanding.
Colin
