are you talking about? As far as I'm concerned, the is run by officials elected by the membership. If you think that Gene Trimble or David Spragg or any other small group controls this club, I would have to disagree with that opinion. Mike Skelton and the other elected board members are and have been quite capable of directing this hobby in the way that they see as most beneficial for the hobby and its membership.

What I see, Sam, are several groups of individuals that are tied together through a mutual collecting field and/or sometimes friendships. But no one of these groups controls the direction of the . While many try to influence opinions or directions, it is really only the actions of the board that will shape the future of this club.
