I vote to let in the gt6, we can call the club North American Spitfire and
gT6 Yahoos--NASTY. or, a probably better idea, how 'bout 42nd Tactical
Fighter Wing--give me a day and I'll look up what the name the brits had
for a wing in wwII, we can call ourselves that. or just North American
Spitfire Club. gt6s are spitfires anyway, so we don't need a paragraph
long name. Maybe just American Spitfire Club.

I vote _no_ or _minimal_ dues. or perhaps voluntary dues. I think it's
more important to get everybody that we can to join than it is to sweat
the coin. I'll volunteer to do the newsletter--we can do an online
version, and I'll handle the paper one too, for those who don't have
email/web access. maybe mjb can host the web site, or we can just use one
of the free sites. cost would be minimal enough that I'll eat it. we can
have swap/classifieds, joe's databases, and we can 'hijack' anybody we
see in/know to have a spitfire. just get their address and send 'em a
membership card and newsletter free of charge. the cheaper and easier we
can make it, the more spits we'll be able to find.
