Terry,Clubs at best isn't what they use to be..I can remember when there was no big I's in a club and all was well.
Then the newer "pushers" started showing up that couldn't let things be and I seen many good club ruin because of this.I know of one that closed it doors.
Then the cry babies came that found this or that to cry about.
Then the remodelers came that wants to keep the layout ripped up for months which in turn stops train running and causes members to leave after all nobody wants to pay dues and not be able to run trains after all the club layout just might be there only "layout" that they can run their trains.The above member types plum forgot the club layout is community property and not their private layout and this layout should be enjoyed by all and not in a constent remodeling mode.
And yes the club members expect a ROI for their monthly/yearly membership dues.They can't have that if the layout is constently toren up by those that want to "work" when they go to the club.
The club I am a member of now leaves a lot to be desired in many areas and won't change any time soon-in fact I suspect it will be like that till the doors are closed for the final time.
I not sure why I haven't pulled the pin.. :?:
