The whole thing is professional and forward looking. The one thing lacking is us 100% supporting them. And it wont happen if people keep pulling them down.

Maybe they need to look at ways to better communicate what they do.

Next time I'm there I will go for a look. I don't dispute their good intentions.
I do support the NZDA by paying whatever the membership is each year, going to the club night each month and talking to newbies to try make them feel welcome, going on party hunts etc.
On a personal level I really like the guys who run my local club. Highlighting some of the issues I see doesn't mean I don't support the NZDA.
