Default Tongue in cheek

I used to call'em blue hairs and now I are one. But I do agree with you. It's not because they're old. They've been in the club a good many years and have done most of the things that the younger flyers would like to do now. The problem for the younger members is getting the manpower to put on the events they would like to do.

I guess the only thing I can tell you is find enough members that have the same interest as you and see if you can put on an event. You have to do this without threatening the alpha males in the club. Smooth talk'em and maybe some of them might want to join the fun. Try to do all this at club meetings so they don't think you're making a power play behind they're back. Be up front and polite. Good old boys wield the power and don't let go of it easily.

BTW I wasn't offended but I am getting gray.
