Default A good model

If I belong to a snowmobile club in NH, I get a discount on my sled registration. If I own 5 sleds, they all get the discount, even though I only paid club dues once. This model (10-12 years old?) provides a lot of funding for trail maintenance and gets a lot of people into clubs where they get other benefits and discounts. Rod & Gun clubs or NH Lakes should take a look at what the NHSA did. It's a good model, and legislators love to vote for programs that are 1) Voluntary 2) successful 3) profitable 4) run by volunteers, not a state agency.
