DO NOT CHARGE YOUR MEMBERS TO GET OUT OF WORKING BEES. This does not work!
You must change the culture and expectation on your membership and make them feel like they want to help the club.
I would LOVE to pay $50 to never work at the club again. However all I'll have is a crap club then.
Our club had the same problem, untill we encouraged people to attend in a positive fashion and created a culture of it. Now we get 40-50 turn up and have everything done in a few hours. We provide lunch and then everyone gets to shoot.
Don't make a working bee an all day affair. Make sure people can shoot afterwards.
Our club does not charge it's members a working bee levy and has no problem getting people, the clubs in my state that do charge it had their attendance DROP.
Also don't bully or shame people who can not or do not attend. This will not make them come and simply make your club a horrible place to be.
