On that web page, is stated that the simplest way to join, is to turn up 
to one of the meetings and speak to a committee member.

While the web site lists the members of the committee, on the contact 
web page, there are no mugshots of the committee members (that I found) 
on the web site.

In the olden days, the old PLUG web site used to have a committee page, 
with mugshots of the committee members, so that they were easily 
identifiable from a distance, for such things. Perhaps, consideration 
could be given, to having such an inclusion in the web site, once 
again...


A question about membership rates. Previously a suggestion had been 
made, that an additional class of membership be introduced - a Family 
class of membership, for example, to have three classes of personal 
membershi - Individual $10, Concession $5, and Family $15. Did anything 
come of that?

There also used to be (from memory) a class of membership, of Corporate 
- used to cost about $50 (I think), for businesses with more than a 
couple of people, or businesses that wanted (effectively) to put money 
into PLUG. Out of curiosity, did that class of membership get deleted, 
or is it just omitted from the web page above?
