Re: SLCFSA Rule Changes
Re-reading this thread and I missed these posts. I think they need responded to.
A couple things:
- Just because the club had a rule doesn't mean that it was a good rule
- Just because there were more draconian rules on the table doesn't mean the rule we got is good
- Just because other clubs have the rule doesn't mean its a good rule.
The bottom line is this. If you don't like the safety rule changes or the dues increase you got the right to complain about it. You have a few options to deal with it. 1. Put on your big boy pants, act like an adult and follow the rules just like everyone else. 2. Get more involved, work with the system in place and try to change the rules to more of your liking. 3. If you absolutely can not abide the rules do dues increase vote with your feet and move on to where the rules are more to your liking. There is a 2200 member cap at SLCFSA and there are more than enough people, come January, to take your place that are willing to abide by the rules.
1. This country is built on not following unreasonable rules
2. Working on that
3. Sounds like a lot of people did that. It may have been the price increase (which I didn't mind), but I know membership is still open. Problem is once people realize we have this rule, a lot less are likely to come in.
The safety regs or SOP (standard operating procedure) for the club was rewritten to make it in the plainest language possible so everyone who is a member and their guests know what is expected of them while on the property. It was updated to satisfy the lawyers and insurance company in the situation if an accident would occur. Will the SOP protect the club from lawsuits, no, but it is proof to the lawyers and insurance company that set standards of behavior were in place and the person responsible for the accident is to blame, not necessarily the club as a whole.
I realize that you have an issue with our rapid fire rule, and I would invite you come up with a suggestion that would make the lawyers, insurance company, and the safety committee happy. If you have a better idea that holds water and will work I am all ears.
People need to break out of their entitlement mentality and realize they do not live in a vacuum and their actions effect everyone around them.
As both I and blackseven have told you, life gets in the way. Letting members know this is a big issue, and they can come out and discuss it is much better than letting 20-30 people decide for everybody. Its hard to come up with a better idea when you don't ask the thousands of people that would be interested.
Everybody who asked for it is getting what they wished for: I'm now getting involved. Things will change. I've been in contact with the President. He is willing to work with us to find a solution. I greatly appreciate that. I honestly don't care about the drama. I don't care about who is being mean or name calling or who has an agenda or any of that. I want to do what is best for the club.

Re: SLCFSA Rule Changes
I started a new thread focused just on changing the rule.
I'm hoping to get a lot of support for this.
