following club precedence. Back in the day, when Archie started the club & throughout the first several years, I'm certain that funds paid to reclaim an old number would have been of benefit to the club. While a hundred dollars is nothing to sneeze at, it certain is not what would sustain this club. Does the club care to have your money to reclaim your old number? They would much rather have you simply rejoin the club and become a member again. Had the precedence or policy not existed, you would have your old number back. But in light of the fact that many members have paid those back-dues to reclaim their number (the appeal of which I just don't understand), it would not be fair to those members if the club did not adhere to those same guidelines consistently.

Happy collecting.
