I know I would certainly have appreciated some form of written communication through the post on becoming a member, just, y'know, to reassure me you guys knew I existed.
Even a welcome letter with a nice letterhead and a little card wouldn't go amiss. While you're there, you could preach to your enthusiastic new member about the sorts of project they could be involving themselves in on behalf of WMUK. This might add a few more man-hours to the project. Incidentally, I should add that I have no particular view on dropping the membership price. All I can tell you is that I paid the discounted rate of £6 and thought nothing of it.
