Final Approach
These clubs close due to lack of member participation. Members join, they view themselves as renters, don’t volunteer and then are surprised with the notice of closure.

What club?
I came from an equity club - everyone owned a piece of the airplanes. The club orginated in the 1960s, and perhaps the member/owner aspect was one reason it survived. The buy-in was $3-5K (I can't remember exactly now) - if you resigned you got your "share" refunded when a new member joined - yeah, you had to wait, though usually not very long. Your club - 60 members is kinda light for 5 aircraft. You'd think 10-12 per airplance would be the max, but SO many guys fly SO seldom; we went to 15-16 members per aircraft without meaningful scheduling conflicts.

Line Up and Wait
One club at our airport. One airplane, ten members. I think more than half of the members have not flown in a year or more.
