What flying club doesn't have unrest? Clubs in general seem to bring out the best and worst in people. You sometimes find people who haven't really had any power in their work life and suddenly are on the board of a club and try to create an empire, or business people who try to apply their years of business experience to a club run by volunteers and membership subscriptions or well meaning volunteers who have a lot of time but don't have the people to really manage. Maybe there is a point when a club outgrows itself?
