Default LS10 info

How many "active" members have to share that equipment that do "not" own a
glider or have a share in one?
17 years ago for a period of 4 years used to belong to a club of 35 and
maybe 25 active members.
We had a twin Grob, single Grob a Blanik and 2 Schweitzer trainers
including a 180HP Scout. Of the active members 5 owned gliders
The net result was that 20 people share the equipment.
The ratio at that time was 4 pilots to one Gliders.
