Hi Matt - I'm a 'remote' member of ASV and because I don't live close to Melbourne I don't get to participate in most of their activities nor meet many of the members. That said, I reckon that the benefits of membership are huge in terms of the resources that they have available for members and what you actually get with your membership - the Crux magazine, annual almanac, updates on activities, heads-ups for astronomical events, etc. You can also participate in various sections (comet observing, astrophotography, meteor observing etc) through members-only Yahoo groups. For you I think, the biggest advantage would be meeting and talking with people.
Cheers -
