We had the local cycling club agm last night.
As with a lot of voluntary positions, the committee twisted arms of various people in order to go forward for election.
I duly got myself elected to be committee for the next 12 months.
I would be very interested to hear from other members of clubs and to hear about their policies about trying to attaract more members, funding, committee work, and the like.
My initial view is that it is tough going trying to attract members and trying to retain existing membership.
The constraint on peoples time through work/family life make it harder for clubs to get new blood and to get people to volunteer to do work for the club.
Therefore I would appreciate any observations from club members and/or club committee members regarding how their club tries to address these issues.
Thanks.
