C W Burfle posted:Could it be that LCCA is more willing to innovate (electronic-only membership option, greater promotion of jointly-sponsored meets and meets that are open to the public, more public outreach)? Is LCCA less bound by a "good old boys" mentality than TCA? Something else?
Since you asked: I think that a lot of LCCA people belong so they can buy the special offerings. Funny how people call for the TCA (Eastern Division) to open their signature event to the public, but nobody ever calls for the LCCA to offer their special items to the public.
As for LCCA meets: how many LCCA meets were actually created by the LCCA?
Not sure how one can arrive at most of LCCA members joining to get LCCA items. Same thing could/should apply to TCA, since there is no shortage of special items.
Apples and oranges on the idea of opening York vs. people wanting LCCA items.
And for the origin of the LCCA meets, although it's irrelevant, for the ones that I've been to, ALL of them were originated by the LCCA.
