Hello Paul,
The duty of the club officers is to work towards the goals of the
majority of the club membership. Most club members would rather fly R/C
than whine and bicker. As a result, I and the other officers as well as
a cadre of dedicated volunteers are working towards getting a new R/C
flying site up and running for the season.
There is nothing silly about the democratic process, and the question of
whether or not to lease this new field as a club will be brought before
the membership at the next meeting. As a club member, you are entitled
to your opinion and also entitled to vote.
In the meantime, please either find some positive way to contribute to
the club or stay out of the way. As far as I can tell, you're doing
nothing to help grow the club or expand our flying venues.
Tom
