Our club is kind of in a "turn over" period where some of the more senior members are leaving and we are trying to get some new members. What have some of your clubs done to get new members to join?

We have a website and have posted that we're looking for new people, but it has had limited results.

We started, years ago...attending the regional Sportsmens show (O'Laughlins is ours)...most clubs are tax-exempt so alot of shows are free entry for booths...must have a tax-ID number from IRS and we average between 5-10 new members from these activiites...we also have a Cabelas and they will have spring outdoors days and ask local clubs to come down and talk fishing opening another opportunity to recruit!!

Also utilizing an internet website has gotten us multiple new members doing random searches. Ours is at www.westernbassclub.com if you want to look at a demo.
