Cheapest Club (was Best Gliding Club Website)

Well, it's true that the club gets a good amount of funds every year
from the mayor of Czestochowa... snip

That's how it looks here... As long as the government / municipality
helps, it works better or worse. When it ends, it will be the end of the
club too.

You have displayed great wisdom and insight in your assessment of the
future of soaring in your country. The only problem with being free and
independent is you are free and independant. That's a problem I will
greatfully accept. The lesson here is that we in the US think that
cheap equals best and that if clubs were cheaper we could draw more
members. Look around, the most active clubs with the best equipment
have higher than average dues and flight fees. If it does not cost much
thats most likely what it is worth. In order to maintain our clubs,
increase membership, and preserve soaring, clubs need to take a close
look at the income stream produced by the club activities and make
adjustments as needed to insure thier own future. Amen, pass the plate,
go eat lunch.
