Cats Five
You have a point about clubs of all sorts and the politics that goes on and may be I have just been unlucky but I think that to get a string of four letter words hurled at you when you walk into their hangar to do an inspection on one of their tugs, and that before I had even had chance to introduce myself was a bit rich.
But not nearly as rich as the libelous writings of one club member who put my name into a report of an alleged conspiracy just because I was known to a club member he did not like ( I was not a member of the club or conected any way with the club ether professionally or as a user of the airfield ).
I have been the member of a lot of clubs over the years and have seen a bit of politics in most but the gliding world takes the biscuit for the shear nastiness and venom from what is a SMALL minority of the members.
