SMC Controversy

In the 1990s a system of regional devolution was attempted by Local Groups Officer Dave Lally under which some aspects of Scottish Mensa were run by a Scottish Mensa Committee, in some ways similar to Irish Mensa. This system was criticised by some members as encouraging bureaucracy and attracting people intent upon self promotion, and was abandoned in favour of the normal British Mensa regional structure.
