They just don't push for members, I have only ever seen a club put up a stand at a country show once, witch was good to see, but that's only once in over 3 decades.
When I walk into my local gun shops there are no flyers, no club advertising e.g., and I know that a few blokes behind the counter are club shooters.
They should be in our faces with membership drives, handing out flyers and forms to new shooters while they are going for their licences, putting up stands at all the country shows and openly inviting everyone to come out and have a shoot, and handing out leaflets when they hand you your recept at the shop.
I wonder how much the clubs really care about their dwindling numbers sometimes.
