There is a full fledged club about 15 minutes from my apartment, but I drive about 45 minutes one way because it is really nice to be with a lot of guys who just want to fly.
There are always people who think no danger is acceptable. There are those who feel more comfortable with posted rules, regulations, and methods to enforce them. There are those who enjoy arranging and organizing.
There are also those who can handle problems among themselves without a set apparatus for it. We are just some buddies who fly together instead of fishing.
We don't need no stinking rules!

I used to travel about the same distance to find a good place to fly, now i have to travel 1:30 minutes, to have a good place to fly I do fly at a close location also about 10 minutes.....
It sound like you either accept his authority of defy it....in other word tell him the majority do not want any rules and if he insist tell him to leave, but then the atmosphere would be change forever, since most likely he has a close buddy or two in the group....
Difficult situation but obviously cannot make everybody happy in this one.
