Seems ODD that someone would have to attend Board Meetings (air fare, room rent, food, etc) so one might be considered to be voted on it? In the age of electronics, and cheap home video conference hook ups for home PC's, this is an old fashioned kinda need. With their cash flow, the board meetings should be video and attend from far away. Sorry if this is possible and I am unaware, but from their sad dated website, I would be surprised. Just my two bits. It is EXACLTY that kind of vibe that has sent me away every time I have looked into the club. Big into rules, which is part of the problem. When rules trump human apsects, people will be turned off. I think all the answers POCI needs are in this thread already. Good luck to them. Let's revisit this situation in 2 years and see their numbers, which will be "bottom line" on change potential. This is sad, because this is EXACTLY the scale organization which will greatly help this Poncho hobby. I don't feel the energy needed, I feel obstructionist ego stuff. I still plan on joining, so I can see for real what it is beneficial for and help support, and if it ain't my thing, then I won't renew. It's all good and it's all choice.
