Most of the clubs I have been involved with have been run on a communal basis with performers and non performers taking an equal share of the work and we have always been grateful for the help given by those who have no vested interest in the proceedings.
However, I have encountered the 'me performer, you dogsbody' attitude on more than one occasion; it is more than a little 'hacked off' making when you are trying to clear up a clubroom and having to work around prima donas who don't raise a finger to help (and, on occasion whinge about non- performers getting in the way).
A salutory lesson for me was in the Birmingham club that had a marvellously efficient 'non-performer' who ran the club like a well tuned engine, until one day she was found to be a wonderful storyteller; you should have seen the 'artists' running round like headless chickins trying to replace her.
Best,
