Problem: Scottish Tartans Authority

[macwilkin]

Hamish,

Lifetime memberships are like lifetime warranties, only for the life of the member of the item, which ever is shorter.

I used to belong to a professional organization that suddenly started pushing us to sign up for life memberships. . . . . I didn't, (didn't have the cash at the time). By the end of the year they were bankrupt!

Any life memberships I buy now, I consider a gift. (At my age it isn't wise even to buy green bananas)

I am not suggesting that the STA will do that. Just giving my own experience.

As a member of STA, I will vouch for the organization. Brian Wilton and other STA members, including our own Matt Newsome, are doing much to preserve the history and traditions of tartan, as well as debunking the many myths out there as well.

Regards,

Todd

They do a fine job, too, despite the roughness of the row they hoe.
