We have 1386 members today, including annual, life and honorary.
This number should increase on a weekly basis until the end of October when Mary Bowes will need to cull out those who, for various reasons, have not renewed their membership, just prior to sending the mailing list to the publisher for Parker Pages. This time Mary had to cull 67. It's inevitable and that 67 is not an unusual number.
