For those who's memory stretches back at least a week...I mentioned I was facilitating a club discussion for the local Hunt Club. That sport on horses, with hounds, funny trumpets and lots of tradition. Very poor method of pest control but great fun all the same.
So let's draw some comparisons between racing about the sky and racing about after hares,
A sport that has a long history - check
A sport that requires lots of personal investment - check
A sport that is time consuming - check
A sport that has built up a lot of assets in buildings and equipment - check
A sport that has plenty of passionate people - check
A sport that essentially run by volunteers - check
A sport that has a lot of people who have been around for a while and who are resistant to change -check
A sport that is struggling for young members - check
A sport that has a high turn over rate of members - check
And as a result of the last 2 issues....a sport with an increasing average age - check
A sport with a very high percentage of members involved in club committees (15 percent) - check
Do you see a pattern??
Can I see a solution?? No...not yet.
