Old chestnut indeed!
I would agree with Clive, Chris and Gordon.
Living on a county border I spent many years being a member of two teams before the National was formed. Whilst mutual aid existed, it gave me the full benefits of both organisations and a much better chance of being called out. It never caused any conflict or confusion.
Whilst that no longer applies, I can see the merits in certain situations.
I currently volunteer with several other organisations that benefit from 4x4R support and co-ordinate that on their behalf without any conflicts regarding membership or insurance.
It is just a matter of only wearing one hat at a time.
The bottom line is we are using our vehicles for the benefit of the community and how individuals reach that goal is a personal choice.
