[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but I live in a city, generally travel to cities, and don’t belong to country clubs. [/quote]

OP and that’s an interesting observation- kids spent half their lives in a big city as did we and we recently went to London to visit our adult friends and DD remarked how friendly all of the kids were at the neighborhood playgrounds we visited. Maybe because they didn’t have 10 cousins in tow!

But even our city athletic club started to have this problem until they jacked up the guest fee and got more serious another membership number checks.[/quote]

You belong to a lot of clubs: country club, athletic club, swim club. Maybe change your types of socializing if this isn't working for you?[/quote]

NP. Irrelevant. We belong to 3. Talk to the general manager about 
1) Guest fees - they are too low, being thwarted
2) Guest limits - we typically have a limit of how many guests can accompany each member (it's like 1 or 2) and how frequently they can come to the club(s). It's like 1X per month. 
3) People who respect this - like have the same tennis buddy play 2X a month with them and they pay for it once a month are going to be ignored. People who bring hordes of guests are going to be spoken to because the point is that members at a club like to socialize with people they know -- not random guests or adjacent to a reunion. 
4) If you want to hold a reuinion (or wedding or whatver) at a club, that's fine if they go through the proper channels, reserve the right rooms and give $$$$$ to our club. We love that. [/quote]
