I see lots of negative comments about big clubs, but I don't see the problem in mine. There are about 140 members in my club, plus a few who fly there without paying. I have had to wait to fly exactly 1 time in 8 years there, and that was on the first day of our new facility two years ago. Yes, there are cliques as will happen in a group that big, and no, not everyone likes every event that happens or every safety rule that is passed. But it's a generally helpful group of guys, very welcoming to new pilots and generally considerate of each other. I sometimes wind up flying with 4 other planes in the sky, but it doesn't cause a problem.
