Is it not a fact that the Data Protection Act 1998 relates to the use and storage of personal information held by the Club or OSC on an individual rather than the clubs or OSC activates. It should not affect the sharing of information relating to the minutes of a meeting or the results of the meeting.

I think this is more of an issue of non-members gaining the same level of information as those who have paid a membership fee. The OSC site should have a section (password protected) open to the members to view the minutes and activities the world over. Then it’s a simple fact of parting with eight quid. I’m not happy with this situation and will hopefully participate in resolving some of these issues. The fact that I will part with another 16 quid this year will be a personal choice.
