Our club runs beginners courses throughout the year(we have outdoor and indoor facilities).
We gain a few members from each course.
They join the club then disappear!!
The end result is that we have about 80 members on the books and of those I have seen only about 15 shooting.
Sunday, the field is almost deserted .
I have been a member of my club for over 20years and in the early years the club (before I went over to compound) could muster at least 6 MB archers.
Now we have one recurve MB and one compound MB.
A sad state of affairs.
How to fix it?
I haven't got a clue,it feels like we are a sausage factory turning out beginners and putting the cash in the bank.
It does not bode well for archery if this trend continues.
