| Richard,this just goes to prove that such things can put anyone off joining a club,the fact remains that whatever our interests clubs are not for everyone,my own experience of them is that they tend to form a clique which is of no use to anyone but the people involved,believe me after running clubs for many years it is very hard work to keep everyone satisfied,especially to cater for the beginner element,my thoughts on this are that for a club to function properly it must cater for newcomers and experienced alike,but not to concentrate on one aspect.
I have distinctly noticed that model boat clubs are a very friendly bunch, and are far more relaxed and willing to share their knowledge,I am pleased that you have found the right niche to enjoy your hobby,after all that time is so valuable as to be used properly and without hassle.
