So we are down to the traditional 3 ways of getting someone to do something

Blackmail as in reduction of fees
This method only affects those on low income or those that are really tight

Bullying do it or else
remember people now stand up to bullies and fight back

Be nice
being nice doesn't work, i am not saying that please and thank you aren't always welcome, but you can be over nice

So what works is when all of the club not only thinks it is "their club", it is when it is "their club", then they will know that they feel they belong and want to do it, and take a great pride in being a member of what is going to take over a large part of their lives i.e. archery

Our club actually gets appologies from members when they can't get to do any work, and they all ask what needs doing, and then they do it, and if they don't find me to ask, then they do it anyway, because it just needs doing

Give them a club to be proud in, and they will take pride in not only being a member but in being the club
