I run a club in norfolk, we have held demos at local school fates in the past, I think RC is in for an up hill struggle the 1st thing that struck me is how many kids are realy not intrested in cars now days, I think out of the 200+ kids at that fate only about 2 showed real intrest in a car, we had quite a few parents intrested but once they found how hard they are to drive round a track (very simple track) and then how much they cost they lost intrest.

How many kids now days build plastic model kits, build go carts,show any inerest in how the gears and stuff on there bike work etc etc

Rc is up against some stiff competition these days nintendo,computers and in my area the local youth football clubs, all of these are fare cheeper in the short term and modern kids want a fast result! they don't want to spend months lerning how to drive in a cold field, most loose interest very fast, as do there parents in working on the car. Adults find it hard to find the time and these days even harder to justify the money.

I don't know any other ways to get people intrested in our hobby. But if things don't get better here in the East of England my club has a very short time left
