How about this reason... My club is aged and likes it to remain at 30 members. We're lucky if there is anyone flying during the week, and have maybe 10 members flying on saturday or sunday. I admit is is nice. But as soon as somebody mentions a open house or something that might attract new members, forget it. No body's interested (the majority) because they're afraid of something. I can't seem to figure it out, weather it's their age, or what. My fellow clubbies (god bless their hearts) are between 60 and 80. I and a couple of other guys are in their 30's to 40's.

anyone want to comment on this one??? I love my fellow members to death, but it seems that the "reluctance" for change (IE, getting new members) and "training" want to be pilots is beyond them.
