My club recently implimented a new rule. It states that should a member let his/her membership laps (for any reason) and return at a later date they will be charged an additional $25 on top of the $50 annual membership for reinstatement. I feel this sends a message that "we don't want you back". We all know that some people, especialy those that have been doing this for a while, will take a hiettis from the hobby. Sometimes for a year or more. So when this guy comes back he has to pay an extra $25 because he took a break? I have no intention of letting my membership laps but this rule is effecting freinds of mine that I would like to fly with again.[:'(]
