RE: Loss of fields
Who was there first, the club, or the complaining neightbors? I know that it really doesn't matter (but it should). Another example of people not fully investigating what they're buying (when thay always claim "we didn't know about the flying field when we moved in next door to it") and then banding together to force the flyers out. I'll bet not one of them complains when the neighbors' lawnmowers or weedeaters are going.
