Dilwyn made the point that Quanta membership was based on a subscription to the magazine.Hmm, I must be mixing this up with another organisation. The sentence "membership is by subscription to the newsletter" is quite stuck in my mind. John is right, there is no mention of this in the constitution. Unless it was back in the eearly days, or one of the other groups (BBC micro, Oric etc) I was a member of back in the 1980s. I had a quick look at adverts of Quanta c. 1988 and no mention there either. WWonder where I got that from then?
Nothing could be further from the truth. The subscription is for membership to Quanta, period.
Certainly not from your own web site (8-)# http://homepages.tesco.net/dilwyn.jones/quanta/quanta.html
... and that needs a bit of an update as well.
There is a mention though: (quanta membership subscription sinclair ql )
http://www.sincuser.f9.co.uk/048/qlink.htm "Membership is by subscription to the magazine"
I do think I remember that very phrase from the dim and distant past.
Oddly this search did not find the Quanta site itself.
It did though find a US site selling subscription to "Quanta" - a science fiction magazine!
