SNU Membership

I have been able to create this table of SNU membership thanks to Mike Orchard ( #32083) Mike has had a decades long interest in WBCCI, in particular tracking the membership (big red) numbers. Mike has been collating membership statistics from the WBCCI directories as part of his hobby. I recently asked him if he could send me any membership totals he had for the SNU . He graciously did so. Find out more about Mike and his interest in WBCCI.

Note from Mike Orchard: As you know, my totals are from the yearly directory. Factors like late renewals or human error on my part impact the actual number of members.
