Subject: Re: [endurance] New AERC Membership Fees
Well I wasn't too happy, but will keep active. This year due to Rebel's
layoff I rode (count 'em) one ride. At sixty five bucks if you just paid
the 5 dollar fee per ride that would include 13 rides. <sigh>
As for the AHSA a full senior membership with all it's perks is 75 bucks
there is a 45 dollar sustaining memebership with limited benefits and I
really don't recall anything less then that except for juniors. I pay
them 75 bucks a year and get a magazine each quarter and some decales and
rulebook.
Bottom line is I think AERC wants to raise their fees to be on the same
level as the AHSA. Of course, that creep George Lindemanns Jr.
absolutely drained the AHSA legal defense coffers with his bogus lawsuit
and his expensive lawyers., but that's another story.

Nope I think it was too much. :(
