I think it would be a shame to lose this. The club (I am NOT a member but some friends are) has decided to make the public aware of their situation.

Negative publicity may get through to these people. I was a memebe rof a club that had a similar situation happen, although we didn;t have any specific long term lease arrangements, the owner of our building deicded to triple the rent once we had the benchwork and a good portion of the scenery done, figuring he had a captive audience. Little did he realize the power of a Sawzall. The landlord also had a hard time re-renting the proeprty after we cleared out, as the neighbors were all too happy to inform prospective renters of the landlord’s policy with rents. The club’s new home is totally owned by them, so no landlord. Tradeoff being building maintenence and taxes are now the responibility of the club.
