Manny, you do not mention which club you belong, Bundy Sky Watchers, or Bundaburg astronomical Society, Club?,but you will find that it is members who decide these rules, my experiance of this is that people dont wont to be involved with two nights a month with the club and so the two things,Observing and club meeting are emalgamated.
Sometimes this is the only way that the membership come together
I know this to be fact as I was the president in two clubs and member of another club for very many years
I suggest you get together with other members and arraing a get together in your own time, also try to bring your complaint up at the AGM and see if you have any like minded people who dont like the current arraingments.
Best of luck in your observing
Ron
