I left in May this year and was surprised when the AACA letter arrived on my doormat. Not as surprised as they were when I completed it along with the DD mandate. When I was in I was a member under sufferance but as membership is cheap and affords the chance to keep in touch with old friends. I agree with the line about wishing the area associations were a little more proactive. Maybe they ought to remove local CO's from the chairmanship.
