Actually when your message arrived (message #10903) the following were
pro 'n'
#10894 D.Cawley
#10896 D.Bryant
#10899 C.Pickford
#10900 M.Wigby
The following were pro 'nn':
#10897 E.Martin
#10898 R.Bickerton
Todate the tally stands as above with the addition of
pro 'nn'
#10904 I.Johnson
#10907 S.Bond

The latest tally is 
pro 'n" 5 members
pro 'nn' 4 members 
non members but thoroughgly reliable on this matter include
 Rev Ellacomb (dec)
 the editors of the OED (dec)
the author of The Tintinnalogia (dec)
