What's up with your club's 600ft altitude limitation? Where did that number come from?
I go to fly, not to talk. It's just me, but if want social, I'll go to a local watering hole where I can enjoy a nice single malt at the same time.

Funny you should mention the field though. I had just come from the local flying field (on the way back from where I store my boat). So I stopped by for my third visit in about six weeks (two on Sundays, and one on a Saturday, all on great weather days and early to mid afternoon). A little bit of a breeze yesterday, but otherwise warm and sunny just like the two prior visits. In those three visits, have seen exactly one person flying at the field.

The 600' restriction? It's co-located with a private airfield, 600' limit comes from that.
