I don't think the choice of technology is the answer to attracting younger members, what we need is to attract those who are enthusiastic about fishing and boats. Boats are a problem with the younger demographic which, if we are honest, has always been the case. Getting married, setting up a home and starting a family generally take precedence. I believe that the age range we are likely to attract are those who's families have grown up a bit and promotions have given them a bit of spare cash. We've all seen them at the marinas, keen and inexperienced and in need of a bit of help and, hopefully, they will bring their youngsters along with them. This is where we can come in but, how to make the connection, there is the rub! I, probably like the rest of you, am frequently accosting people on the pontoons and slipways of Poole extolling the advantages that membership of PBSBAC brings and what a bargain it is. How can this be ramped up? Perhaps we all need to carry promotion business cards to hand out at appropriate opportunities with online details, etc.. Terry.
