I just took a look at your web page, it states on the Info page that it is a requirement to be an AMA member to be included in all club activities. So if the field or facility you are using is additionally insured by the club with AMA, all of Chuck's fears are addressed.
I first attended one of your contests by getting the info from the AMA mag., but with this day of computers, we can still know about contests almost anywhere.

Chuck,
I, as president of our club this year, am in the process of proposing that all participants in our club contests must have a current AMA membership. The club voted on this when I was unable to attend our January meeting. If you don't have an insurance card in Texas while driving a car you are violating the law. My feeling is that we need to consider it the same for flying a R/C airplane.
Additionally, I am very sensitive to your concerns. Our flying sites have been certified with the AMA and we as such require AMA membership at any of our club events. But, since one of our fields is open to the public we cannot control access totally. Again, I am very emphatic that I will insist that all of our CD's "lay eyes" on current AMA membership before the participant is allowed to fly in a club contest.
