Public Fields

[Weimer, Claude]

I have a question to all that have a city or county field that is managed by a club.  Have you ever had to remove a troublemaker from your club and not allow them to fly at the site?  Our club is in a city park and the site is leased to the club but we have allowed nonmembers to purchase field permits and fly without being a club member.  We are going to change the rules this coming year and there are some people that are not going to be allowed in the club.  I would like to know if anyone has experienced this problem and how it went.
 Thanks Claude Weimer

Our club has a no cost lease for a county field.
The lease agreement provides for the club to provide
insurance, management and supervision of flying related
activities, to include layout of parking, pit, fly, no
fly areas, frequency control, flight line
procedures, etc.  In short- the normally desired stuff.

To have authority comensurate, we asked that the agreement
specify that all flyers be memebers of AMA, and our local club.
We wanted that to help avoid the sort of problems Gray Fowler
noted.

The county provides a rough cut of the entire field a few
times a year, sprays for mosquitos, and helps (but not enough)
to maintain a dirt/gravel/wood chiip road.  The club does
everything else, including runway cutting.
