Exactly what Katie says. The chapter can't win here. It gets criticised if membership doesn't grow because some see it as a kind of failure. Then, when the chapter grows its membership it is seen as some kind of entryist threat. I find it particularly notable that these criticisms come from the same quarters.

I say well done WMUK for growing the membership and encouraging more people to get involved in the free and open movement. Good work.

Oh I don't know, maybe this "yawning gap" wouldn't be so wide if the chapter don't get criticised for both not increasing its membership numbers and having increased its membership numbers.

Just a wide guess....
