Just thinking outside the box again,
When people decide to not renue there membership with the GFA, is there
anything in place to ask the departing member WHY they have decided to pull the
pin.
Eg :
Medical reasons
Age reasons
Too steep learning curve
Learning cure not steep enough
Not compatible with the club members
Cost
Not what the thought gliding was
Lack of post solo training.
CFI is a dick
Lack of 2 seater club aircraft to take your guests flying due to abinito
requirements
Club politics
Stuipd paper hurdles to get into the next higher performance aircraft
i'd rather be a "turn-key" powered pilot mentality
airspace restrictions
Distance to the airfield from home ( measured in hours of driving )
can't over come the need to barf every flight
No level 2 instructors to be seen anywhere on a public holiday to run the ops
so junior pilots drive 150 KMS home with another Zero hrs in the log book.
and so on.......
Collecting this data should answer the question , " Why cant we retain
members"
Simple to me..................
Then the answers sould provide direction for changes to be made at the club
level or GFA level.
