The EAA national organization requires national membership for a chapter
membership. Most chapters are not particularly diligent about this
(either
by omission or comission), so it is usually not an issue. However the
climate is appearing to become more dictatorial from national.

I am president of EAA336, and in order to attract people to
our chapter, do not enforce the headquarters rule.
I also invite all to attend our meetings and do not require
local membership. (maintained at $12./yr)
Many have joined both, based on our chapter's offerings.
EAA HQ also has a free 3 month free trial membership
available.
To view our website, and see examples of how our chapter
does it: http://home.earthlink.net/~archie97
Hope this does not come across as a commercial,,,,,,,,

Correct me if I am wrong but are not most of the chapter guys
into experimental airplanes and not antiques and war birds?

I think we need a national organization for only experimental airplanes.
Perhaps that would improve the focus.
