One of our local fields was getting sketchy on allowing turbines, especially during the summer months.
There were a lot of old timer guys on the board. Grumpy old dudes that weren't happy unless they were unhappy. We all know the type.
We had a couple jet guys step up and get elected to the board .... we are now Jet Friendly
Steve's on the money here! We had a Geritol board for years. Anti turbine, anti Giant scale, anti 3D, in fact anything over a .91 four stroke got frowned upon.
Now the Prez is a Giant scale guy, the VP is a jet guy and we've recruited lots of fresh young faces for the board ( guys in their 40's& 50's LOL). Club is in growth mode again. Yes, the old guys still grumble but, from the sidelines now... about how " this is the death of the club" . Might be the death of the club as "they" know it but, the rest of us have new life
