Default Growth in soaring

I think we are living in totally different sides of the society. I live
in a side where researchers and professors, and i don't speak of
students have barely enough money to support their family, and not to go
skying or other high expense stuff. I am old enough to have known a time
when very ordinary workers were able to afford gliding, and were the
majority of gliding clubs. With reasonings such as yours, these people
have gradually been excluded from clubs.
