Default Appropriate way to keep member from joining.

Our club lost our flying site last year. Most of the members paid the annual dues and supported the club in the search of a new site. Some members however refused to pay the dues "because the club can not provide a flying site". Now that we have managed to establish a new site (i.e. all the heavy lifting is over) these former members are requesting to re-join. Most of the current club members who have contributed a substantial amount of sweat equity would like to see the club by-laws revised to provide the option to prevent "fair weather" members from rejoining and allow ejecting members that consistently violate club rules.

Can this be done without creating a legal "discrimination" issue?

I would appreciate any guidance you may have. Thanks for your time in advance.
