Cycle Touring Club

Lots of parallels with BN

National organisation
Regarded as a "governing body" by many parts of national and local
government.
Local groups that are organized by members
Maintains a watching brief on legislation that affects its members
campaigning organisation for it's members and non members that share its
aims
Has a fighting fund ( unlike BN's ringfenced)
Its members are regarded as marginal by society in general
Has more non members than members in its target group

Another comparison could be the Ramblers Assoc.
