We have some PC mums like that. Terrifying :P But I guess the PC is fairly well off, so you get everything up to date and good facilities and so on. And the PC manual is the best book in the world, has anything you could possibly need in it. This sounds more run by volunteers, but the principles sound good!

This was the deal where I grew up. Pony Club was great, but not all of us could afford it. Some knowledgeable people started a 4-H, and it was a huge bonus for us kidlets who couldn't afford rallies and such. I can see how it could pretty much suck if the leaders weren't any good (visions of MeSue selling Colin to the KB's, anyone?)
