If the second group you are wanting to become a member of, cannot or does no, afford the above to you then the problem lies there, the last thing you should want to do is to promote the attitude by paying for a second membership fee........now ask yourself if you really want to be a member of that a group.
Yes I agree they should be given support, from the nieghbouring group by facilitating them!
Richard, there is no need for associate membership either......the benefit anyone has outlined can be forthcoming without dual membership.
I'll now leave it at that......

Having access to their forums is one thing. Having "responder" access to them is another.
It's not that they don't but I am guessing all the planning and details are on their forum. Their forum is for members only and I understand and know the reason why it's not them being difficult or anti social.
The issue is that as you say "the benefit anyone has outlined can be forthcoming without dual membership." and while that may or may not be true it just isn't the case the only people that seem to talk to each other from other groups are the trustees/officers. It just doesn't happen.
