Interesting point about the lack of "club" activities at clubs. I guess I'm lucky in that my club really is a club, they organise regular fly-outs to airfields across the UK and Europe. Some more competitions would be nice, though, I have to admit.
I've never actually done a club fly-out, though - I've never found myself short of places to go. But I do love the fact that I can turn up at the airfield and just hang around in the bar and talk to other pilots doing the same... something which no other "club" I've ever been to seems to have offered. And it's not completely unheard of for people hanging around to offer rides, either...
