Random points from my mind that are issues:

I don't like Poncho groups that value GTO's above all else.

I don't like ego trip group leaders of any flavor

When "the organization" becomes more important than the "point of the group" it is wrong

Cliques within organizations that really run the organization

Groups so conservative they try nothing different EVER

Making things more than they should be (5 day events instead of 2 or 3)

Groups always needing money just to run the organization with no visable effect

The people with the most personal money having the louder voice

As in the people with the highest dollar cars somehow being better

and as I age, I HATE ELITISTS of ANY KIND! and these clubs attract them

I could go on

the SHAME is I would LOVE to belong to a GREAT Pontiac club! I would pay! I would attend! It would be FUN!

Years (I mean MANY) I looked into POCI, my impression was a bunch of crabby old guys who liked Chieftans and Oaklands and for the muscle they like GTO's and the last place a Bird guy would fit in. I think this is what grew the TAC and Bird organizations, a reaction to the Goat is King attitude. I love Goats, but IMO opinion, the birds draw more attraction from John Q average non Poncho person (I may take heat for that) but birds are AT LEAST the equal of anything Poncho else now and should not be the "little brother" they have been viewed as for so many years.

Bring on a new, revitalized POCI, and I WILL JOIN!
