I understand the requirement for being a life member, they want comeone committed to the sport. Yeah, I know, you and I are both are as committed as most life members, but it is at least an indication. If the club really wants you to be their TG then let the club foot the bill, that way no one is saddled with a large sum of money that many can't afford, and the people electing you should know you well enough that they feel secure in your representing them. This is the way we worked it, we were represented by someone we trusted, and for the extra work that our elected TG had to do, he was repaid with a life membership. There were no hard feelings, everyone was happy, and we were represented.
