Growing Membership

Growing your membership.

This area of our website is to assist clubs who aspire to be well run, welcoming and successful.
Clubs or associations that are proud to promote themselves to the local community and beyond generally have a higher level of success in terms of membership numbers.

All clubs and associations rely on a dedicated group of people and resources, to enable them to exist. However a club/association will have difficulty surviving if the membership isn’t continually growing and if the club/association isn’t marketing itself as a safe, enjoyable, competitive or social.

  1. Attracting new members.
