    As I understand it, Clan Campbell had two conveners in NC and both

    Yes, for the Clan reps that pay their own fees, GM is the most expensive Games, by far, in the SE. You also get the least amount of return on your investment (bang for the buck). You basically pay for indifference, no help at all, whereas at Loch Norman and most other Games, they treat you with respect, and are very helpful.

    There are quite a few clans that avoid or even boycott GMHG.
