Now let's talk about some other clubs.
I know another that requires 3000 ft of runway for all planes. Again
- this is NOT reasonable. I've comfortably landed a twin on less.

The nearest airport to where I live has a paved runway 2,443' long. There
are several clubs at this airport. A few years ago, I was considering
joining one of these clubs and went around to them to review their
membership requirements and rules. Just about all of them had a rule that
members were only allowed to land at paved runways a minimum of 3,000'
long.
I guess I should have asked where members were supposed to return the
aircraft when done flying.
