I like the fact that they do not want to increase the annual membership fee as they don't want to become a club for the well off elite.

A club for the well-off elite is exactly what the Wiltshire society and many others were. If it weren't for that elite we would have inherited a Stonehenge VC built away from the stones by Keiller and we wouldn't have Adam Longstone'restored' in concrete like a floundering whale. We also wouldn't have the museum, however, and all the many curious things such as Britton's 'Celtic Cabinet'.
