Sounds you like you have to prune the tree. Those who don't contribute
should be expelled. Apathy is highly contagious and must be stamped out
immediately. This is a hobby, and thus voluntary, but some sort of minimum
contribution to the club's activities should be expected. Better to have a
few dedicated members than 20 slackers.

Our train club is stagnating.  Hardly anyone shows up to our building • sessions,
and productivity has dropped to almost nothing.  We've lost direction, • we've
lost enthusiasm, we've lost committment.

Help?!

What can our club do to make things [fun] again?  I'm sick of asking and • asking
for people to actually show up and get stuff done.  And the few of us that
actually try to get things built are sick of being the only people doing • the
work, especially since our club is known for its talented builders.

I'm just about ready to walk away for a long hiatus...  There was a time • when we
were one of the premier LTCs in the country, but now a LOT of groups have • long
passed what we're doing.  We're basically becoming a second-tier club.

Suggestions, anyone?  We need help!
