	Re: Bride Friendly Union Society
		A major problem of the early societies was their lack of understanding of sound actuarial practice - when a society was formed, generally by young men of similar ages, a flat weekly rate independent of age, seemed to provide capital growth (so much so that some societies would fund an annual dinner).
		But as members aged their demands on the fund increased - prospective young members saw that it would be in their better interest to found a new society thus avoiding the need to support 'drones' (as so called by one such Ramsey breakaway group).
		National friendly societies, such as the Oddfellows and Rechabites, had been forced to put their finances on a sound actuarial basis in the mid 1850's and after some loss of membership prospered from then on.
