Default Does Your Club Require a Spotter

I fly at one field that uses the taxiway for a very small, rural airport. Although we seldom see a plane land or takeoff, we require a spotter while one (usually) or more people are flying to watch for full-scale traffic. At a second club I belong to, a spotter is required if there are two or more planes in the air at the same time.

Are spotters required at your fields and what do you think of the requirement? Some fliers don't like it as it takes time from their flying session and, in fact, we have lost members because of it
