Well, for small clubs maybe one m,eeting or two a year works. For us, a club of over 180members who run 7 major events a year, runs youth intro programs, has asset management to deal with, and is a major contributor to it's community, two meetings a year would not do at all. Robert's rules are definately needed in a club of any size of notability because it is the way a club,organization or municipality should be and is run. KNowledge of Robert's rules extends far beyond R/C clubs, far, far, beyond. Furhter, I do know why I joined an R/C club. I not only enjoy our open space that we manage, but I promote the hobby and promogate the pilots through youth programs and District sponsored events. remeber why I joined? Sure do, and others like me are thankful we did.
