Well it is certainly up to clubs to do this. I would hope that isn't the attitude you take with a prospective member though as this is exactly why folks talk so badly about the AMA since they link your club's actions to an organization dedicated to help this hobby grow.

How that not presenting a positive attitude dedicated to helping the hobby grow. They are simply saying we are an AMA club and expect those who join the club to also be AMA members (as opposed to ppp members). They are offering to welcome and help any "parkfliers" that show up. They are, in a very polite manor, telling the person that if they cannot afford the full AMA membership, the RC hobby may not be for them since it can get expensive.

I say good job to Mr. Toolmans club for taking a stand against preferential treatment for the parkflyer and promoting AMA as a WHOLE! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
