       I do not get the point either.  The cost of a membership is $30 CND.  
In the overall picture of the cost of attending this event the $30 is peanuts 
and if that's what's keeping you from attending then you have bigger issues 
to deal with.  That said, I was told that they were trying to not overload 
the campground but seems to me the $30 will not have this effect.  Persons 
wanting to attend will join and go.  Anyways, the benefits of a membership 
are innumerable and well worth the $30.
