I'm a member of the ASV, but it's a waxing / waning relationship, and I think I'm going to save myself $70 next year.
Meetings?, an 85km drive, only to struggle for a parking spot in the heart of Melbourne, then 85km home.
The time and effort turns me off every time.
Iceinspace will do me just fine, I can have a meeting any time I want!
And if I have a question, there are 6,860 members just waiting for the opportunity to respond within minutes!
Plus, I can avoid all the politics by just not browsing 'General Chat' too often!
Cheers
Chris
