kind of, some of the articles are not written in laymans terms though.

I think its worth it, the journals are interesting to read (i think you can download issues youve missed of the website too) and you get into shows cheaper.

It's worth being a member if anything other than the journals going to the yearly BTS show and yearly lectures and dinner. Also get to know people more on a person to person level and enjoy a few pints before the shows. Although the articles in journals are becoming repetitive, always seems to be more on breeding x species or data and recording of an egg sac which after a while is like watching paint dry. I miss articles from the older issues like one a newbie who got into tarantulas and tell us about their every increasing collection and what they managed to get from the shows, how much it set them back and articles on housing methods. Stuff like that. Yes egg sac data is important but not everyone wants to breed and not the most entrhalling thing to read

The articles are excellent! Breeding, new species, new discoveries, old species re-named etc everythings in there! Well worth £15 a year!

Yes, i'd suggest that its more worth it than joing the BAS (British Arachnological Society); they are pretty inactive it seems and only have the one journal (and its pretty scientific from what I know).

I plan on joining the BTS next year, and perhaps the AAS.
