RE: Just Joined MAAC... again
Hey Drew,
If you want a real R/C field and the social aspect of it, why don't you start one yourself? Someone has to do it...
Given the amount of unused land you have (I've been to High Level, there is certainly lots of open space), it should be no problem to find a landowner who will let you use a corner of a field for next to nothing. You don't have to be fancy with it, just get a semi-smooth grass surface in place and see if you can find a few like minded folks to split the mowing duties with. I've been involved with a couple of start up clubs and the biggest problem we had was noise complaints with the neighbors at one and finding a farmer who would let us use a corner of his field for a site at the other. You should be able to solve both of those and the rest is just putting up a few posters around town and attracting a bit of interest. You might be surprised who pops out of the woodwork once the ball starts rolling.
