[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 788800, member: 50197"] At the end of the day it may come down to what a core of the membership wants from the club. If it is primarily a social gathering, they may be content with a small membership and low expectations on growth of the hobby (not talking membership here, but growing as a photographer). There is nothing wrong with that, although it may not be what you want from the club. Also, larger membership does not necessarily translate to a better club experience. As Needa suggested, a thorough exploration of the issues and expectations is a good first step. A clear goal is absolutely necessary to implementing improvements. I think you will find that many hobbies these days are compromised of older folks. I'm active on a couple other hobby interest forums. Most of the members are either retired, or knocking on retirement. There was a lot of grey looking at the folks in the woodturning club I was in. Nature of the beast, unless you develop an interest in something like skateboarding, or rock climbing. [/QUOTE]
