I've joined a couple of Societies in the last couple of years on the
basis that once I'd discovered what they were doing and the level of
support they needed, I felt a membership was an appropriate way to
support that group.

If a Society keeps its affairs as "Secret Men's Business", they'll
stay small and unknown.  It's their choice to make.

I'd be saying to the members "Hand out our newsletter as an example of
the work we're doing and the work ahead of us still to be done and ask
for support by membership."

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
