All kidding aside, I have been happy with the way the club is run, I have had issues, but they where addressed in a professional and honorable manor, even if i was acting like a A$$. The staff takes much heat, criticalness is easy when your not having to be accountable for the decisions you make. Its much harder to be a leader when you stand behind your decisions.
This is not a small band of friends, i have seen them go out of their way to make others feel included, they encourage and guide by example, which is one of the best most effective forms of leadership.
When i joined i had a stock JK, they gave me space when needed and guidance when they felt it was time to step in. Sure... they will not/never make 100% of the club 100% happy 100% of the time, but over all its work, and these guys give of time and effort in the hope that most will have a good wheeling experience. the social side is , much harder, sure we hang by the fire at nite, cook, have debates. each person is different... but they are pretty respectful imo.
I have seen other clubs, spoken with them, and i think this is personally the best one around.. I feel their example has made the general membership better.. not perfect. like any group, we have A$$holes ( i know im one) but they do a great job of keeping it all together and focused on wheeling, which is why we are suppose to be here.
the social aspect is a by-product. it can be fun at times and stressful at times.. we are all adults and need to learn , "life's not fair" your not always going to get the undevided attention of the staff.. they are trying to include everyone.. Plus.. they want to wheel and have fun too...
I understand the frustration they feel at times, anyone thats had to manage people know this.
if you feel frustrated, I think Doug or others may have said. speak with a Staff member, they are adults and will discuss any issue with you, .. that does not mean they agree or u will like the outcome.. but they will be professional and respectful in discussion, just remember to act in kind.
If you read this far, God help u, as my rants can be exhausting. sorry.. im just a crazy old fat man .. 'wheres my chap-stick'
