I know I would certainly have appreciated some form of written communication through the post on becoming a member, just, y'know, to reassure me you guys knew I existed.
Even a welcome letter with a nice letterhead and a little card wouldn't go amiss. While you're there, you could preach to your enthusiastic new member about the sorts of project they could be involving themselves in on behalf of WMUK. This might add a few more man-hours to the project.
Incidentally, I should add that I have no particular view on dropping the membership price. All I can tell you is that I paid the discounted rate of £6 and thought nothing of it.

that WMUK members get a preferential rate to enter exhibitions and the
like.
However, I think that would have to be some way off in the future, I
don't get the impression that WMUK is big enough or has the spare man
hours to try and get that off the ground at the moment. But maybe one
day...
