The term “flying clubs” is used for a variety of completely different organizations. At one extreme you have a school based a regional airport who just hires aircraft. You can have a Club which runes the airfield it is based on and runs all the facilities. A third option is a shed on an unlicensed strip with a group of like minded people who share the cost of the shed and the coffee fund.
My club falls into the middle group, charges quite a stiff fee, but then everything else is very cheap, or free.
