[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 788856, member: 34269"] @sthuter, That is not bad for a voluntary club or organization. That is the way that they work. I would be happy with 15 regulars in attendance. That is enough to plan an event and have help executing tasks. I have run volunteer organizations and that is how things unfold. People sign up and the organization is not what they thought it would be or they get busy and only show up when something really interests them. I have also run LESS voluntary organizations that had mandatory runs and meetings where you paid a fine, or you gave up significant organizational rights if you did not show up and there were some that would still not show up and take the hit. I learned that the best thing is to make everyone aware of events and be happy with who shows up. In my club, in the old days, I helped them understand that there would be fines higher than the cost of the trip and stood by them those fines. You really cannot make folks love something as much as you do but you can choose to enjoy the time with those that do. The best thing I found was to post lots of photos of what they missed out on.
