There is an established club about the same distance from my home which has an open membership of approx 150 to 200 members with yearly dues of $50.
Is it foolish of me to stay with my current club?
Its not all about the money.

I'd say it's foolish to ask a bunch of strangers that don't know you or your relationships with the other club members to judge how important it is to you staying with a club over (+,-) a few dollars is,, if it isn't about the money,, why post the numbers?
It's pretty simple,, if you like the guys, and it isn't about the money,, why not stay.. It seems to me you're looking for a reason to leave.
