I am sure that everyone has all the right or good intentions here but there is a limit and if I am paying for what I perceive is the value and it's taken away due to this I am against it.
It's very rare that a non-member replies saying, "I'll be there then, thanks for the offer!" Instead, it's basically a way for FT'ers to meet. I would bet a fair sum that the number of "extra non-member" bodies clogging up clubs from this is quite negligible. That includes non-members asking if access might be possible as well.
