All good points.

Being winter in Michigan, you only have meetings and some die hard flyers to base your decision on. I know I did'nt join my club until May because of that reason. I waited until I could see trainer night in action. This gave me the chance to meet a bunch of people at the field.
I am still not sure where you are located but we have an Ice Fly this Sunday on Sylvan Lake. If you are local let me know.

Hey MinnFlyer, I see it's real cold up in Minn.
