Is the BMSS still worth it ?

Sorry chaps - but this is a subject that has been rattling round in my brain for some time. I've been a British Model Soldier Society for some years but have recently been considering whether it's remotely worth being a member. I used to use it to stay in touch with the hobby when I lived in London, and even now, despite having no local branches near to me: I now have the internet. I used to use it to keep up with trends in the hobby as travelling to London was a relatively rare affair - I now have the internet. I used to wade through lots of newsletters without it covering any of my interests as most of the membership were not wargamers - I now have the internet, I'm feeling pretty negative about the society and what it can do for me. Can anyone really tell me what I'd be joining the Society for this year - at a cost of more than a couple of pints of beer for something that doesn't represent my aspect of the hobby when I have you guys ? Once upon a time you could say to traders and the like you were an member of the BMSS and it seemed to be respected - it doesn't seem to be that any more. It's Facebook page is dead too - have they had their day - I was quoted their amazing member's auctions being worth the yearly membership fee alone but they're on weekdays, in London - I certainly can't get to them. Is the ITSC the new BMSS ?


Some one please give reasons to re-join this year.

Fellow members, We set the ITSC up to be a complementary club to those existing traditional societies, offering a different approach and experience. That's why we are in the ITSC . Hopefully we can have a club which gives us and the hobby the active forum we want! I'll be setting up our first club call this month (Yes I know this has been delayed from last month but it will happen!) I hope we can have a good discussion and take action to really get this club out there and be an active community both online, with calls and even actual club meetings!


As ever a club is only as good as the members and the support it gets. So it is up to you if you join other societies. only you can decide if that membership gives you what you want. But I hope the ITSC will be a Club you enjoy, want to participate in and throw your collective interests and energies into!


Kind regards

Andrew
