Andrew funge. 2nd to you last sunday!
I don't know what's happened to youngsters starting out. Maybe it's a generation thing, PS3's and computers seem to be more popular nowadays. They're more realistic and involving and so maybe more entertaining?
It's certainly the case at our club that the people who i raced with 20 years ago are still the main part of the club there's just not reall any "new" young members.
What will happen when we all retire????? rc obsolete
Maybe take a look at putting on a race day at school summer fete's (we're going to look into it) this is the age group you're after and perhaps they just don't know that the club or sport exists.
