**Well, for small clubs maybe one meeting or two a year works.

We almost agree

**a club of over 180members who run 7 major events a year

Like the Small clubs do not have several events a year? When we run out of parking we just get the mower out and make more room.

**Youth intro programs

Yep!, Every weekend we are ready to take up youths up. We also perform several school fly demos. But we are just a small unworthly club. [:-]

**asset management to deal with,

You got me there, But our dues are only $25.00 a year. Hold it, we have 2 assets, A mower and a building ........... sort of.

**a major contributor to it's community

Every club should be. We never say no to any request.

**Robert's rules are definately needed.

Crap, We have to disagree. When running the club comes to needing a book, There is a problem. You should not need to run a club. When your hobby becomes running a club, thats is just sad.

BTW you have a club of 180. How many of the 180 flys 70 days a year or more. Just to let you know there are around 10 from our club that flys over 200 days a year.
