"Those who have lots of ideas for others to work on get very frustrated when their ideas are not implemented," Mike wrote.
Would this include those older folks that can't do a lot of the heavy lifting, but the membership thought their ideas were good and voted to conduct whatever activity in that accord?

Bylaws are important, but I don't think they have much to do with the success of a club. They are most important in dealing with the failure of a club... rather like a prenuptial agreement. I do not believe the strongest clubs succeed due to democracy, but in spite of it. Nothing like a real debate within a club to assure that it implodes.
