Like Hoss. I will throw in with CB. It is surprising what new members preconceived ideas of what the club flying field is supposed to be. Our club is like most. We do have many wonderful things for making the flying experience enjoyable. As nice as the facilities are, they have to be maintained. The trash is picked up by members, the rest rooms are cleaned by members, the club house is taken care of by the members.and kept in good order by the members. There is no flying site ferry to take care of the site. There is no government agency to take care of the flying site. The paper in the restroom does not just appear. The stove in the kitchen does not clean itself. It is refreshing when a person joins in and understands we are all in this together. Our club membership has been constant for many years. The fees are all accounted for including the initiation fee. The answer, we charge a initiation fee.
