As any such application would have to be sent to someone who is currently a 
member, the Committee having either resigned from both the Committee and 
the AFFS, or refusing to state if they are paid up members, that being the 
case why don't you try sending me an application, stating clearly your 
reasons for wanting to join, to the address I gave on Friday.
