We are members of the RMI, but being a member of any of the trade associations, in my opinion is always well worth the money.

Its a bit like an insurance policy, you only get the benefits if you have to make a claim.

Also these associations do a lot of lobbying etc, behind the scenes that most of us know nothing about.

You as an individual do not have the contacts or the clout to make a difference, somebody hopefully is looking after our interests in this changing world.

I read on this site lots of people moaning about the change in our trade, think how bad things could get without these associations, unfortunately they dont run on fresh air, yours and my subsciptions are hopefully making a difference.

Only my opinion. Andy
