In my opinion the proposal on the 3.11.08 agenda to give Club officers free memberships is a bad idea and should be withdrawn. There should be no reward or incentive for serving as a Club officer other than the satisfaction of fulfilling your duty as a Funston pilot and the occasional gratitude or ingratitude of your fellow pilots.
Those uninterested in hang gliding and wanting special privileges should become USHPA directors. (uk excepted)
