SSRCCPREZ, I feel that you have put it all in a nut shell with just the two words , "forced" and "required". We are not forced to partisipate in model aviation, but there are those things that are required of us if we want to do so. Our club requirements for flying at our new field state that one must first be a club member and have an active AMA membership. Both of these requirements are for the protection of the club field and members.
