This questions concerns the management of club member contacts.
I need a solution to allow an insert/modification/deletion of inactive and active club members. The people in the contact list would probably not be users on the drupal site and may never even visit the website.
The management would be done by the secretary and a few super users and include a few fields like: family name, first name, dob, address, telephone,email, team, status. The data could be viewed by various selection criteria and could also be exported to Excel if needed.
I have checked out several modules that could do this including civcrm (which seemed a little heavy).
I'm sure that there are many people who have had the same requirements and I am interested in any feedback that is on offer
thanks in advance

Sounds like a CRM need
What you're describing sounds like the classic use case for a CRM (contact/customer/constituent relationship management) solution.
My experience is that folks who start out with a simple CRM-related need often need/want more complex features after 6-12 months. So if you find a solution that does what you want and is stable, I'd consider it a bonus if it has more features than you need at the moment.
CiviCRM can be resource-heavy on dirt-cheap shared hosting, but there are economical shared hosting services that intentionally support CiviCRM and are known for providing good results for a low price. For example, there's an unofficial community-maintained list of various providers on the CiviCRM wiki: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/Hosting+provider+information

User friendly simple interfaces
Thanks for the feedback.
Do you know if the civicrm user interfaces are flexible enough so that a simple sortable table of people can be presented?
What I want to avoid is a heavy interface with too much detail and too many options. Are there examples?
