Hmmm...

However, before you dig your hole deeper consider that the VP took action on your letter rather than (as some have in the past) filed it in the trash bin. His VOLUNTEER "job" sort of suggests that he put you in contact with this club but does not hand him any power to force that club to be responsive to you. From here it looks like he was trying to push the club off the dime where you had ALREADY done all you felt was necessary. It worked and your less than flattering remarks seem to possibly have bitten you. Less than flattering remarks have a nasty habit of coming back. In God's country (Texas) we tell folks that what goes around comes around. Might serve you well to remember that in the future. Sorry you found out the hard way.

Now lets look at things YOU can do to fix the problems or find a good place to fly. This club surely has members that buy equipment. I would figure out where that is and approach the shop owner and ask about clubs in the area. It sure would be less than fun to try to join the worst club in the area if there are other choices. It also may be that the club contact is burnt out and not a good representative of the club to outsiders. Plan on a site visit or two before you mention your desire to join the club. If you have really made an enemy in the only club in the area, you have to do some work to repair the problem or find a way to go around it.

Good luck.
