If I were chairman I would be wanting a list of those names for clues to why they have left. Unfortunately Quanta has never really made the effort to find out anything about its members. The only people to do it in recent years have been John Southern and myself. I was on the committee at the time and neither of our surveys were discussed in any detail. (Mine was totally ignored, John's was just the reporting of the results.) A smaller Quanta is not necessarily a bad thing. If it was more homogenous it would be easier for the committee to serve the members. A Quanta of just 50 people could contribute greatly to the QL community provided they were active members. (And there are probably at least 50 people who attend shows and/or are active in subgroups.)
