That sounds a good idea. If you consider all the effort that goes into a 
National, not for the benefit of the members, but for the public and the 
doubtfulness of profit coming back into the organisation.
I am sure that several smaller events around the system would require less 
organisation and return more new members.
But you have to consider all the "professional" committee members who 
would lose out.
