Default RE: Flying Field Access

It's called reciprocation. It's actually quite common with country clubs.

If I belong to such & such a club and will be visiting my brother in another area and wish to play a round or two of golf at his club I don't have to pay full price as a guest.
They let me play for the price of the cart and my club would do the same if the situation was reversed.

These argreements are obviously in place in advance.

While I don't believe you could/should mandate this pratice, it would be nice if their was a standard practice for such situations.
Perhaps a national list that clubs could then opt-in with their participation.
The list of chartered clubs in the nation is already maintained.

Simply ad a line to their existing info.

Club: Anytown RC Club
Location: Anytown, USA
Established: 1975
Runway Surface: Concrete
Runway Length: 400'
Reciprocation: Yes

It's just an idea [sm=50_50.gif]


To clarify . . . . I'm not talking about an hour away 4 or 5 times a year.
That's what associate memberships are for.
I'm talking vacations or long weekends in different places each time.
