They also charge a lot more for their conventions each year. This year it's going to $166 for the 3 day convention. I've never been to one of their conventions but I am a member of the club. They have the same issues as our club....they need volunteers an people to help set up for the convention....the bad news is the ISSCA only has 85 members but getting 30 members to turn out for one of their conventions is pretty good.

IMHO, I'm sure they are running into issues with the older membership base and few newer members showing up to replace the ones who pass on.

But for $30 a year you get 12 news letters a roster of the club members and a bunch of guys to trade swizzle sticks with .
