For the record, they do. I've not paid in since 1999.

In fairness, you've been on the co-ordinating committee in that time and sell fanzines/scarves/etc now.

...and who said officials didnt have a sense of humour . Jaysus Breifne lighten up just a little. Surprised that you didnt see it for what it was meant to be(ollie **** take).
