I figured I'd start something by posting that but it's all for the better I think. I'm sure they already feel more welcome and likely to join now that they have had a formal invitation from wqbang.

For the record, I have made suggestions in the past....

Clip from one of my posts on PNWX site:

"On a side note, I had a thought about the people that look on xoc in the pnwx section and assume that there's no activity. Is it worthwhile to post upcoming trips there so people are aware if they want to be included? Or if these are pnwx members-only trips, then maybe a copy and paste of the post trip write up would encourage others to make the effort to enter this world if they knew what they were missing. Not that changes need to be made....and I'm the last person that should probably be suggesting this but it's just someting that came to mind. Didn't Superjens do something like this once?"

Response:
"if people are interested in pnwx they usually ask on xoc. they then get directed to our site here."

Not really a "seeking new members" attitude but more a "find us if you want to" attitude. Same but different.

Though I did very much enjoy my outing, I probably won't be renewing my membership for various personal and selfish reasons. I would like encourage any BC folks to get out and join Conman, DaveX, HaggardSteve and some of the other "active" BC members of PNWX on a run - they're good guys.
