The club near me has no initiation fee (they make a point of it on their

Just out of curiosity, how does a club that operates that way
allow for expansion? *For example, if they get a dozen or so

What club is it, and what do they fly?


My UK club doesn't charge an entry fee, but our number of members is
fairly stable - some come, some go. Also aftyer a while new members
get their own gliders, so the number flying club gliders doesn't
change much.
