    Hi all

    Many many years ago we were members of DASA but left due to various factors which we perceived was a lack of motivation in ruling council.

    I have not heard from or about them for some time but recently met up with an old friend Mark Scoggins whom was the Chairman for a while.

    I’ve known Mark for some time and can only think that since he was Chairman things must have changed within DASA as I could not believe he would just be a yes / no man.

    I am considering rejoining DASA but would like to know what you think about it. Will Dasa grow and develop and become a force in time, or will I just be throwing away my subs money each year.

    I am particular interested to hear from any members whom had previously resigned and then rejoined

    That’s me then.

    Left when it was nearly £600 p.a. and could not justify it. At the time Chris Hayter was still there, but due to illness he lost the plot. I’m back in now at £250 p.a. and I believe it is less for smaller operations. They have changed to a 2 tier structure regards fees

    There have been changes, and things are on the up. At present it is run by volunteers, but that has removed the biggest expense bill, allowing scope to re-consider the fees. It is still spasmodic at times, but bearing in mind they way they have had to do things, and run by businessmen who have their own companies to look after, they aint doing too bad.

    One thing they do need is members, and they are gradually coming back.

    What you really need to see is a posting from a member of the DASA council who can tell you how it really is.
