If a private commercial organisation that you are a member of shares your personal details with other third party commercial organisations, in order to provide you with services that you enjoy from being a member of that organisation, is it incumbent on that organisation to ensure that those other third party organisations do not share your details with even more organisations? I'm thinking what the Automobile Association might be doing with my personal details, as I'm getting unsolicited sales pitch mails from organisations that I'm haven't dealt with previously.

They should have a published Privacy Notice available that will provide full disclosure on what they do with your information. You have the right to object to any of it and to withdraw consent for marketing at any time.
They should also not be using pre-ticked boxes for consent where you have to untick it. Consent should be positively affirmed."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Most places of that size now have granular marketing permissions that you can turn on or off as desired indicating your consent to receive. Probably buried in your online account somewhere.
Edit : SAR being a Subject Access RequestComment

If you do send an SAR be clear about what you want and restrict the request to just that to ensure a quicker turnaround and more relevant info.
