I think people tend to forget that a track/club needs to accumulate a contingency fund to finance improvements and unexpected outlays.

Some of those can be very expensive and it can decimate a club's rainy day fund if they have no other income except the monthly meeting funds, not all of which goes to the club if it's an MSA club.

Those little charges that irk you can mean the difference between being able to afford an improvement or not, or even being in the red or black.

The outgoings of clubs/tracks will vary enormously between them, due to rents/corporate income/subsidies etc.

It's not unusual to find yourself paying more for less facilities, that's just the way things have to work for some clubs.

Having been on both sides I can appreciate the difficulties faced.

It's up to you to choose what to do with your money.
