Anthony - you are correct in that you must join. But, it's well worth it. I've been a member for a few years and have gleaned a lot of good information on ALFA, FIAT and Ferrari.
With more ALFA enthusiast involved, it may give some Ferrari owners the chance to move up to an ALFA!!!!!!!!
Although I'm very enthusiastic about Ferraris, in my opinion, two of the most beautiful cars EVER designed are the glass roof ALFA Disco and the 8C2900 C.
