Jerry - There has been Gold Plating done by a few members on 3 or 4 tournament strikes and $200 and I feel that was the members choice and I don't think it has been a big deal.
Also things weren't aleays the way members wanted it when Don was president and I don't think that everybody will be happy all the time regardless of who is running the club.
Like it is always said if you don't like the ways the club is run, run for an office and see if changes can be made. The top 3 offices are there for the asking, heck Bill Jollie even pleaded at the club meeting for somebody to step up and take the presidents office as he thinks 2 years is enough. A motion was made at the club meeting to limit the terms to 2 terms and I understand the members will be asked to vote on that at some up coming date.
