RE: Park Pilot Program– Effect on clubs
Wow, I see the problem. When a guy in a club says the word "police" well that is a unhealthy club. A club with problems. The guy that feels he needs to be a fun police well ....................... he is the problem. We have no fun police here and everyone gets along with each other. We fly for the fun of it. There was only 2 issues in the history of the club. They were not a big deal. Solve the minor issue and went on to fly.
1. A old guy that was living in the past kept bending our ears about AMA this, Ama that and AMA Hall of fame. He did not fly and everyone heard his story over and over. I tryed to help him by letting him know we just come out to fly and enjoy hanging out. We just want to fly and enjoy the hobby. He left angry and joined a club just north of us. ( Now they were not to happy he showed up there.) Well be is no longer a member there eather. I have no found a club in our area that wants anything to do with him.
2. We had a guy that would not get his AMA. So we had to tell him he could no longer fly until I saw a valid AMA card. But you can still come out and hang out if you wanted. He decided spending the $58 was not such a bad thing after all.
3. How short the grass gets cut. We dicided who cuts the grass decides how short it will be.
So as you can see we have no fun police here. We only have 1 major rule. You must join the AMA. Everything else falls in place. If you see something need to get do then Get er Done. No one need to tell anyone to do anything. We fly for the fun of it. Even the PPP guys.
