the bit about banding was only mentioned as an example of how prospect has let is members down in previous ocassions,no one said the rant was about banding.The rant is that they didn't bother to turn up,be it central's fault or our rep I couldn't care less,they both represent prospect.As for non-members well,someone else might know the exact answer but membership is declining rather than going the opposite way.Mind you its quite obvious that prospect don't give a toss about their membership in this parts,so I doubt they'll address the issue.
