I've always found the national club worth it just for Miata Magazine.
I enjoy reading most of the articles, and I use the ads when I'm
looking for something for the car.  I also appreciate the product
reviews and tech tips.

I pay additional dues to belong to the local chapter, SOCALM, in
Southern California.  It does enhance my enjoyment of the car because
of the runs we go on.  I've gone with the club to the Monterey
Historics at Laguna Seca every year and Gold Rush last year, as well
as local runs every now and then.  I would go to the Historics anyway,
but I enjoy going in a Miata caravan.  It's mostly a matter of a social
thing.  What you would get out of your local chapter would depend on
what you enjoy and what they do.
