Jim; Please don't take my comments as being argumentive, but merely as discussion.

You asked; "The point was, should we look at complete seperation from the "Main Club" and be our own seperate organization."

Now that all of the Chapters have been "cut loose" so to speak from CC & GTCC, all former Chapters will become their own separate organizations. That does not necessarily mean there should be no involvement with CC & GTCC as the "Silver Strikes Collectors Club" ... or whatever name is finally decided upon. I'm fairly certain that if Silver Strikers wanted to put on an educational program for example at the convention regarding their specialty in the hobby, time and space would be provided. You can be sure that silver strikers will want to continue to be part of the trade sessions.

All I'm suggesting is not to burn any bridges that have been built in the past just because some of the ground rules may have been changed.
