I'm a member of that club, former president in fact. The pl tone is 127.3 as 
opposed to 67.0 for the bridgewater one you usually get in to and most 
repeaters in the area. Are you 100% sure you have the tone set right? 
Looking you up on QRZ, you shouldn't have any problem getting in to it from 
there.
