Wish I had found this site earlier. I am a club member and could have given you some general information about the club and even some contacts at the club itself. I have never been at this particular club, however. I will be going for the first time in one month and am curious how you liked it and if there is anything you could tell me about PV or the club itself that might be helpful. Thanks, Jack
