At risk of re-opening old (and very sore) wounds!
I have just renewed my EFDSS membership for next year.

That is £39 per annum, or at current rates $60.86 - less than a pound per week
and in the USA (where I live) less than the cost of a Sunday Boston Globe per week.

I think it well spend, and I don't want to discuss what it costs me to visit Cecil Sharp House.
