Hi Paddy1,
Many thanks for your reply.
I have to say that I'm really not in favour of any form of 'two-tier' membership, we all pay the same subscription fee and tasting fees. Therefore, what's available to one should be available to all. As a founding member I know this was a central pillar of the original 'charter', so why such a change would emerge now is baffling and disappointing.
Rather than wearing a differently coloured shirt as a way of letting the members know who they are, could I suggest a 'Contacts' page on the website with a photo, title and an overview of what each committee member is responsible for? I believe that would be a far more effective and focused approach; after all only a certain percentage of Society members get to attend the tastings each month and so the majority will still be unaware of who is who.
Best regards,
John.
