[QUOTE="Bongodog, post: 7429796, member: 1343"] Its par for the course these days, I resigned from an organisation that ended up with a board made up from employees of big business whilst continually saying they represented the whole sector. They kept pushing up the basic membership fee and reducing the sliding scale payments for bigger members. Most smaller business owners have too much on their plate to attend endless meetings. Years ago the average farmer had many staff and if he took a few days to attend a NFU meeting the farm workforce only declined by 5 or 10%. These days if the average farmer took a day off for a meeting the workforce would reduce by anywhere from 25 to 100% Meanwhile on the Euston estate it probably runs no different or perhaps even better with the leader away.
