I have an almost ideal situation here. I fly at the site of an old amusement park. It is quite large and has long asphalt roads in good conditions that are fine for landing airplanes. It is far away from everything else, so it is quite safe, and there are no neighbors to complain. The closest building is a YKK zipper factory a kilometer or two off.

The best part is it is public land. We fly without a club. Just a group of 12 or so adults who respect one another's judgment. No safety officers, no club officials, and no dues. When the field needs cleaned we all chip in. It is an ideal set-up. The problem is now one of the guys made a frequency board. That was OK, but then he made a list of rules. The rules aren't bad, but some of us are worried where this is going. We don't want a club. We don't need or want rules.

The question is, how do you think we can stop it without causing a lot of bad feelings?
