THIS thread is about the equally ridiculous excuse "Right - but this is purely a safety and liability concern". So Sqqoodri, ask at your club for a copy of their insurance policy and share with us the clause that shows their requirement for helmets.
Bicycling is a very safe thing to do. Always has been and is now. Helmets are unnecessary for the vast, vast majority of casual cyclists.
I was on your side til you called me ridiculous, fool; your self-righteousness about this issue is nauseating. It's a fact of life that extra costs incurred by the free enterprisers are passed on to the consumer, who more and more frequently has little choice about consuming (case in point -- INSURANCE!).
Randya was right -- you are FOS...and I'm not laughing.
