I confess, I have elected not to join the Chamber. However I think it is really very good indeed to get "back to basics" in Chambers of Commerce. Indeed I was in a meeting with colleagues just the other days where we speculated on the practises of many Chambers of Commerce a few years ago as either acquisitive or in providing services that took their eye off the ball. So I would say back to basics seems very right.
