But is it a British Society for Vintage Wirelesses? Or a (possibly international) society for British Vintage Wirelesses?
Looking at the Bulletins, certainly foreign wirelesses are covered! Must be the former then, so no need to appeal to non-UK members.
JustRadios would be very unlikely to give a discount! RS even less so - the catalogue price is the catalogue price!
A successful Club or Society can easily become the victim of its own success, membership rises, demands on key officers such as Treasurer and Membership Secretary become more a way of life, and people become burned out. I'm not saying that has happened, but it could be one way of keeping numbers under control, to deliberately NOT appeal massively to non-UK members. (Some may join, nontheless!)
