Just curious and unrelated to this thread, but do votes for big
assessments have to be unanimous, or a supermajority? Espeically given
that your members seem to have a lot of equity in the club so they can't
just quit if they don't want to pay, I'm curious how you handle that.

Simple majority, with proxies for members who can't make a meeting,
but the motion gets a lot of discussion before the meeting and people
are sensitive to others' feelings.

So far, so good. The club was founded in 1946. Until a year of so
ago, we actually had one member who was the son of a founder.
(Although he'd bought in on his own a number of years after his dad
passed on -- or sold up,I don't know which.) The son left for the
usual reason: moved out of the area.
