Hi Don,
The membership list of TTRAG is a bit like a "who's who" in the world of timber framing and this might well result in new members wondering whether they will be able to contribute in any meaningful way. There is also quite an onerous membership qualification requirement which is a bit off putting.
I have recently started recording old buildings in Blewbury, Oxfordshire and have just assembled my first recording team to tackle a late 1500's 3 bay box framed chimney house complete with thatched roof. I have specifically chosen a good mix of first timers and old hands so that there can be cross fertilisation of ideas, skills and experience. The main problem that we face is in the publication of our recording work i.e. where an owner of a historic building is kind enough to invite a recording team to survey an interesting house they might not be so keen on the drawings / photos being published in the public domain and there also exists the issue of respecting the copyright of individual recording materials contributers e.g. those who prepare cross section drawings or photographs.
