atw: was: Another "rates" query

I think there have been some really good points raised in this thread.

A national body is a great idea - the only question is, how would
responsibilities be shared between the national body and the various state
chapters? Some obvious candidates for centralisation IMHO are the
newsletters and the websites. Geoff has pointed out that he is currently
paying for the ASTCQ website. The ASTC NSW is likewise paying for a website,
as is the ASTC Vic. I'm not an accountant, but I'd guess that the costs of
this far outweigh the benefits?

Ditto for newsletters - and ditto for a lot of the administration (for
example, membership secretary, organising conferences). 

The only things that really need to be done at a local level are the
meetings and (of course) the annual Xmas party....
