You may notice that any time in the past when there has been sign of an uprising amoungst members certain individuals seek the so called ring leader and have him promptly 'nipped in the bud' its prevents the happy boat from rocking
from my opinion it must get a lot worse before it can get better, the club will need to hit rock bottom before certain people jump ship and at that point only will the club be able to be restored back to the atmosphere it once was.
I thought it was the new layout/funriture that was put in (nice as it is) but then i remembered at Sandtoft they did that.. and while that nice 'homely' atmosphere went a little it was/is still a wonderful place to grab a snack and have a laugh with like minded people in a great atmosphere
I think the club needs to remember that GA flying for the majority is all about flying and enjoyment... not Politics.. thats what the CAA is for
