Well I said it before and this thread just proves it....sounds like discussion of a corrupt government rather than a R/C club. Certainly doesn't sound like an effective business! It's also telling to see that many of those who argued for status quo and dismissed my ideas on improving MAAC in another thread are "MAAC insiders". 15,000$ to one person for one event? wow can you say sponsorship? As I said in another thread, I think events should pay for themselves! It's more fair to the members who don't live in or near Ontario!

MAAC needs to wise up and look forward! What are it's membership forecasts based on existing member age? I would guess it's not good. I beleive MAAC needs to step into the now and run itself like a business that actually *wanted* 80% of Canadian flyers to be members. Not like the "old boy's club" it seems to be now, happy with what, maybe 10%?????

let's go big!!!: Paid instructors at fields, ads for flying lessons, Trial or day memberships etc. There is a vast and untapped public out there that wantsd to fly....let's help them!!
