I think several things have caused low attendance at BVARC meetings. First and foremost was the lack of meetings during the covid. Second was the fact that the meeting place has changed quite a few times in the last few years. As people get older, we like consistency. Same time, same place. I am not blaming the club from finding a new location, since much of it is unavoidable. Maybe a survey of club members & non members would be in order as to why they are not coming to the meetings.
1. Location of current meeting place (Fire Station) Too far- not big enough, Hard to locate? 2. I can attend by zoom, do not need to show up. 3. No presentations that interest me. 4. No food. 5. Conflicts with other activities. 6. Comments? Maybe someone could put this survey in a form, ether on the reflector or web site that would be easy to fill out (Eddie?) There well maybe other questions to ask, these are just some I though of. I myself live about 60m from the current meeting location and would attend every meeting (which I did when I lived in SW Houston) but have to balance the current meeting when in SW area for work. 120m rt is hard as I do not like having to drive that far a night. But most club members live in SW Houston, Fort Bend Co. so that should not be a reason for not attending. Robert KD5YVQ
