Default RE: Safety Coordinator's role

Just because some one is a cleaver pilot doesn't mean he can't also be an idiot. I fly at a privately owned field with a group which has chosen not to apply for AMA sanctioning. We have a list of field rules posted which call for abiding by AMA rules plus several other ground rules. Most of our dozen or so members are AMA members.
But we have no meetings, committees, officers, directors. No member has ever intentinally violated our safety rules. This sure makes it simple for us. All members know they are authorized and required by the owner of the field to eject and permanently banish any flier not flying responsibly or ignoring our posted ground rules. That's what would have happened to this joker. We may have even been rude when we kicked him out.
