I've belonged to both, so I know what I'm talking about. <BR/><BR/>You're playing a risky game with that, especially in SoCal.

In any club, you're always going to have people who hang around. The reason why we have prospects is because we want to control who gets to be a member. Make sense?Steve Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254867681706917705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934741358915685354.post-43371542259330561592008-09-02T21:43:00.000-07:002008-09-02T21:43:00.000-07:00You have prospects and hangarounds for a *riding* ...You have prospects and hangarounds for a *riding* club???

You don't find that anymore.<BR/><BR/>You make a good point on the leadership deal. Leaders don't want to babysit, but then there are alot of babies around and require some whip cracking. As soon as you crack a whip your a tyrant and the babies leave. It is a real balancing act. You really have to be good with people and understand them...sort of like a politian. The only way to keep a group together is to make it through some tough times together. I think if you can survive that then the club is going to become legendary.<BR/><BR/>How many club members would pitch in to make a house payment or help with rent if one member ran into hard times? How many would mortgage their house to post bail for a member if he got into trouble? Not many. This is how some of the legendary clubs have survived through the years.<BR/><BR/>Good thoughts.FLHX_Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453169653430889773noreply@blogger.com
