Ahh yes here we go again ......................... So the officers at your club are old guys that have held office foerever? Well have YOU RUN FOR OFFICE?????? Or do you just not have the support to win an election? If not what should you do?

It is very easy to start an AMA Club, all it takes is 5 AMA members and $30.00 so what is stoping all the under 40 somethings from starting your own Club?

Of course what is wanted is the facility and field, just not the old guys that fly there on weekdays.................

You know the old guys that:

banded together to form a Club
searched for the right land to build a field
bought the land by putting up the cash or through there dues have paid the lease/loan
built the facility and developed a flying site
showed up on workdays to maintain the field
paid there dues for all those years to keep the Club operating
and enjoyed the company of there friends

Excuse me if I sound harsh but I have been a AMA Club Secretary, Treasurer and Club President, and over the years have been part of building and developing three different RC flelds. Lost the first two to residential development. Each of those fields cost over $10,000 each to develop and maintain. Now we are so far out in the country that the latest field may last for quite awile.

So do the work, pay the bills, put in the time and effort and you can have the Club of your dreams......................
