IMHO, WBCCI is an Airstream club. I agree that Ford Mustang clubs should be forced to have Volkswagens allowed in, and I see a parellel here.
However, I am fearful that when powerful people use their positions and influence to manipulate the environment around them (as well as the rules, timing and propaganda--oops, I mean information to the masses), there is always a chance that the end results of things put into motion will be different than what the masses expected. It seems to me that a little paranoia is not unwarranted.
Anytime I hear someone counseling "Just relax; everything will be OK", my early warning detectors go off in my head.
What a distraction this seems to be. What a division this seems to cause. What an amazing and saddening spectator sport.
As I think 2Air has implied, hospice may be the best hope for the masses to get the club back. Evolution at its best. But I personally hope not. WBCCI had said on it's website "The Wally Byam Caravan Club is now one of the largest clubs in trailering, and it is a remarkable tribute to Wally. It demonstrates once more, and in an excellent way, the effect he had upon those around him. Most men would have insisted upon controlling the club; Wally let his followers keep control." Maybe control can be regained.

Phil, (or is it Sue?) This is the most encouraging and nicest thing I have read in days. Thank you for your post, it is welcome balm.
ahhhhh, better, take a comfortable breath, thanks.
Though some think many of the vocal are from
under a rock they actually are
between the rock and hard place.
As with so many disaster movies, the survivors start to turn on each other when the going gets really rough...
We just need to remember where the issue lies and who those people are we should be taking issue with. let's not pick each other off, we need every body, whatever your approach or Airstream product.
