It seems that club membership is in steep decline right across the board, and sadly I believe it’s pretty much inevitable as for most people below about forty, the concept of getting your hands dirty “just for the fun of it” is incomprehensible.
I don’t believe many (or indeed, any) potential new members are going to be recruited easily, as the mind-set just isn’t there.
Not so many years ago the classic mags would always recommend new owners to join the relevant one-make club, but they no longer do that, possibly because most/all the required info is readily available on the ‘Net, so I can foresee club amalgamations in the near future as a way of boosting numbers etc.
Clubs like the TOMCC, not having any sort of spares holdings, has become nothing more than a social club, will likely fold as the present membership gradually fades away…
