So....
I propose that instead of being bombarded by having to redo our membership list every year, let's make memberships a decade long affair.
We can kick people out whenever we want (er vote them out) so there's no fear there of being stuck with anyone for any longer than is necessary.
$5/year for people within whatever the allowable kms is (200km).. makes it $50 a decade. That's not too bad, assuming that you renew your TLCA membership in addition to that. People living 200km+ (or however far the cut off is) will still qualify for 0$ member fees as long as they've kept their TLCA membership up to date. Now, most of the local Swamp Donkey members have pretty much signed up for 5 years, so essentially we're really going to be cutting down on the mass amounts of paperwork needed if we adopt this.
Another thing to figure out is whether or not we flush our current roster down the toilet and start fresh and so clean clean.
What sayeth the masses?

I suppose we could just mail out a bunch of 2010-2020 application forms and see what we get back.
that would solve the 'flimsy handle' issue 
like this one? they're ok, 
I sharpen it with a grinder, 40 grit.
