One club in particular has it all, but it is still a "club" in as much as it has officers, etc. The main drawback is that it is incorporated, so it must have club officers. It has a good source of income, has no dues, and so on, and the club is prospering.
I was a long time menber before the club was 'invaded' by another group that thought it could take over. I was one of the voices that spoke out in warning about it when this other group tried to change the bylaws to favor the newcomers, and was asked to leave. I got no support from the older club members at all, and nobody spoke in my defence at the meeting where I was told I was no longer welcome.
Now, the long time club members have gotten rid of the newcomers, and I've been asked if I wanted to rejoin by a long time member. I am thinking about it, but I feel betrayed by those who didn't offer support when the going got rough, and I don't think I'm going to rejoin. I feel the problem is the mentality of members who just want to "go with the flow" and not support people who want to keep things on the up and up.
That one thing, I feel, is the problem with clubs.
